Configuration Utility (ICU), this driver and utility set was developed
by Intel Corporation as an interim solution to facilitate PnP
configuration when a PnP operating system is not available. It may
come pre-installed in your PC or bundled with your PnP cards.
However, due to the compatibility problem mentioned earlier (please
refer to the note in the section “PnP Concepts” on page 12), you may
encounter one of the following error message or problems when you
use ICM version 1.43 to configure your PnP card:
❑
“Error: Failed NVS write, Error=82h”
❑
Failure to detect PnP BIOS machine
❑
Failure to assign new configuration to PnP card
And ICM may not be able to configure your PnP card properly.
Creative’s Approach to PnP
To solve problems similar to those mentioned in the previous section,
we have developed a DOS-based PnP configuration driver and utility
for the DOS/Windows 3.1x environment. They are called Creative
PnP Configuration Manager (CTCM) and Creative PnP Configuration
Utility (CTCU).
CTCM can be loaded as a device driver through a statement in the
CONFIG.SYS file. It can also be run from the DOS prompt. It
configures Creative PnP cards only and provides configuration
information to other drivers or DOS applications.
CTCU is used when your DOS/Windows 3.1x system does not have
ICM and ICU. It allows you to perform the following functions on the
devices in your system:
❑
Enter, view, change or remove the settings of legacy cards
❑
View, change, or disable the settings of Creative PnP cards
❑
View the settings of system devices and non-Creative PnP
cards
