Hi - I have a laptop I am trying to set up in order to play some of my
old (and loved) games. I wiped everything and loaded Win95(B) on it,
after fighting to find all the drivers and make everything happy I then
loaded my games:
Blood
Blood Cryptic Passage
Blood Plasma Pack
Blood 2
Redneck Rampage
Redneck Rampage Rout66
Redneck Rampage Rides Again

I get NO CD Audio at all in DOS - works fine in Win95 if you put a music
CD in - I even got the music tracks for Redneck Rampage to play in Win95
- but NO CD Audio in DOS - not even in a DOS box within Win95. Does
ANYONE out there have any answers fro this?!? I have been pounding my
forhead against the problem for 2-3 weeks now and I think I am developing
a perminent dent in the shape of a laptop...
My Specs:
Model: Dell Latitude CPi D300XT Laptop

OS:Win95
300Mhz PII processor
64M Ram
Crystal 4237B Audio (Sound Blaster Pro-compatible voice and music
functions)

Autoexec.bat
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330 E620 T6
SET PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\
LH C:\CDROM\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCDOOD /M:20

Run the DOS games in windows but use a Shortcut to the games .exe(On
the Desktop to make it easy)Right click on the
shortcut/Properties/Program and set it up to launch the game as you
want.When doing this always choose the option to tell windows not to
detect Msdos games.
I'm dragging this from memory here as I haven't got a Win95/98
system running as I type but this what I always did and could get all
my old DOS based games to run under windows and of course they ran way
better as well as the 32 bit drivers if Win95/98 were running as well
as the DOS 16 bit drivers etc.
