Well, I am running on two machines. One in 98se, one in ME. They both
have the SB Live! (same one I think). Also, one (the ME) dual-boots to
Win2k. My program works fine in Win2k.
All this came about though when my boss tried running it on *several*
win98 machines at another location (ouch). Needless to say, it didn't
work on any of those machines. I have another Win98 machine I will test
on. I'll have to decline sending you my program for now, but thanks for
offering. I *wish* I had a test program. With the possibility of it
being a sound problem, perhaps I *can* make a test program. ;)
