DOS
Legacy games in the market were designed for use in MS-DOS mode and they
require MS-DOS drivers in order to run. However, MS-DOS drivers are not installed
together with other Sound Blaster Audigy devices and applications. If you want to
to install these drives and play MS-DOS games, read this chapter. Sound Blaster
Audigy supports MS-DOS games.
To install MS-DOS drivers, do the following:
1. Insert the Sound Blaster Audigy installation CD into your CD-ROM drive.
2. Click Start -> Run.
3. In the Run dialog box, click D:\DOSDRV\LANGUAGE\SETUP.EXE (where D:
represents your CD-ROM drive and Language represents the file's language).
4. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation.
There are two ways to play MS-DOS games:
❑ From the MS-DOS box in Windows 98 Second Edition
Click Start -> Programs -> MS-DOS Prompt.
❑ In MS-DOS mode
There may be times when you do not want to or cannot run a game from the MS-
DOS box. The legacy game may be incompatible with Windows 98 SE, or there
are insufficient system resources to play the game with Windows 98 SE loaded.
In such cases, use MS-DOS mode.
To restart the system in MS-DOS mode when you are already in Windows 98 SE:
1. Click Start -> Shut Down.
