11814	2001-04-26 05:46:00	Hello A friend recently formatted the hard drive and reinstalled Win95. Now his sound card ESS 1879 is working properly - it just repeatedly plays the Windows startup wav file and it doesn't stop. I removed both the Plug&Play Audiodrive and the Control Interface in the System Device Manager, rebooted and let Windows find and reinstall it. Same problem. I again removed them from the System Device Manager and then manually added them in Add New Hardware. Same problem. I used to have the earlier version (1869) of the same sound card and had the same problem in Win95 - but I fluked fixing it back then (don't know what I did that actually fixed the problem). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Sharrea	Guest (0)

If you run win98 its included, if you run win95 you'll have to download from a web site. Place it in the windows folder and double click it. It will clean up and fix most registery problems and hopefully get your card working.. Good Luck!!!	Guest (0)
