Re: [PEDA] Pregnant pauses!
Do you have an Esoniq on-board sound chip? Go to creative lab's web site and download the updated driver if you do. _ Brian Guralnick - Original Message - From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Protel EDA Forum" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2001 6:46 PM Subject: Re: [PEDA] Pregnant pauses! | This was addressed a couple of weeks ago, and its taken this long to get my | IT dept to look at it.
