If you can't get any other Win9x/ME compatible sound card do as suggested, put Win98SE which is better than WinME. -------------------- Keith http://www.martin2k.co.uk/forums I've been programming with VB for 13 years.

That would help in your search. -------------------- Techextreme "If we knew what we were doing, it wouldn't be called research, would it?" -- Albert Einstein

They don't really specify sb0680 though. I wouldn't that thought it would have made a difference between 9x and ME. You have to join before you can download anything nut it doesn't cost you anything and you get no spam of them. If you download any files then they normally ask for a report the next time you no on to tell them if they work or not. How come you have this sound card without drivers did you buy it second hand? -------------------- Keith http://www.martin2k.co.uk/forums I've been programming with VB for 13 years.
