| 186567 | 2003-10-25 22:30:00 | Hello, I've Just bought a new sound card for sourround sound, but after I installed the card in the PCI-Slot and rebooted by computer an error message appears. Saying "Cmdninst has caused an error in <unknown>" and the computer stops responding. But When I Take the Sound card out my computer boots up and loads windows, with no errors appearing. Thanks for any help. |

You can't have 2 sound cards, even though one is part of the chipset. If it doesn't disable when another card is inserted, you will get a conflict. Under Control Panel - System - Device Manager - Hardware, select the on-board sound function and select uninstall and then disable this device. But you may need to make a jumper change on the motherboard as well. |
