Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> System tools -> System information

That is presuming you have winxp, it's probably the same on win2k and win98 though...

That means that you have the Trident video accelerator (it's an old card probably), also what it says for your sound card, that is infact your sound card, because every soundcard has midi support, soundblaster is a brand of sound cards (from Creative Labs), just like your card id, so I don't get your point...

Yes, you see that was in the time when Soundblaster was the only (along with adlib and tandy) sound cardmaker(well Creative is the maker, Soundblaster is the brand), I guess you could say that all of todays cards are soundblaster compatible...

I'm not sure about that, try 220 and IRQ 9, if it doesn't work mess with the settings until it does
