Ok, I'll give it a try! But first I need to figure out WHY and HOWCOME my
sound and video decided to stop working. I used to be able to use them both
without problem but now Winamp just stops and Win mediaplayer also "hangs".
It's strange because I still hear the little crackle in the speaker
everytime I boot.
The driver I have shown in the Device Manager is the OPL-SAx WDM-Driver.
Nothing else...
Why this I is I have now idea. One day it workds, the next day it doesn't.
Also Win98se won't find the soundcard if I install the OPL-SAx Sound System
Oh boy.... Sounds like a problem in Win98 with driver configuration, and/or a problem with system resources. When you 1st boot the system, right-click on My Computers > Properties > Performance tab. Are your System Resources over 90%?
I'd say uninstall, and reinstall the sound and video drivers, but that can be tricky as Windows often doesn't actually delete the driver files when you tell it to uninstall them. It merely removes the setting in Device Manager. Then at reboot when the new hardware is found, instead of prompting you for the folder containing the drivers, it just finds the old ones and proceeds to set them up again without asking you.
Sometimes I have to look where the drivers are, and what their names are, and either move them somewhere where Windows won't find them (so I can replace them if things go wrong), or just delete them.
Then there's the route of reformatting the HDD and reinstalling Windows to fix all kinds of bugs. Restoring from an image backup makes that pretty fast and easy.
