The card is a Creative Labs CT4810. Yes, I need drivers, because none of my programs are able to find a sound card.

And as for DOSBox, I'm tired of it. I want PURE DOS!!!!!!!!

I do have drivers to emulate a Sound Blaster 16 from my old Sound Blaster PCI 128. Dunno if they would serve you. (I remember that they needed the emm386.exe from DOS 7.x, they wouldn't load with the one from 6.x.) Anyway have you tried looking for drivers for that card in creative.com or Google?

Never mind, my dad and I went through our garage one more time, and found:

-One old boy scout hat

-One boy scout merit badge sash

-One SOUND BLASTER 16 AND DRIVER FLOPPIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YES!

Now I'm down to two problems:

1. The Incredible Machine. When I type TIM to start the game, the screen goes black, and nothing more happens, forcing me to hit RESET.

2. Lemmings 3D. When I click Play to show the level selection screen, the crosshair cursor appears on a black screen, and I am unable to do anything, and Ctrl-Alt-Delete doesn't work either.

P.S. Thanks for all the help with my other problems, everybody!

Floppy disks were incredibly frustrating which is kind of how I became obsessed with abandonware and trying to preserve old games before they were lost forever. I still scour the internet searching for disk images of some old games that apparently no one but be really cares about. I wish I'd kept better care of my old disks, and my dad used to work in a school computer lab, so I wish I'd tried to get some of the old software and computers he had since the schools probably just throw that stuff away when they replace it.

But even if you take excellent care of floppy disks, they could still go bad. It's one of the reasons I strongly favor abandonware.
