SB Emulation in MS-DOS/Windows 98 B-3
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS
You may load this driver into high memory in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, even though
the default is not. For example:
LOADHIGH=C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\DOSDRV\SBEINIT.COM
Do not remove the memory manager altogether. Do not attempt to load
SBEINIT.COM into high memory when using the NOEMS option if SBEINIT.COM fails
to run SBELOAD.EXE or SBECFG.EXE. In the rare case that an MS-DOS game will
not work with a memory manager, you will not be able to use the Sound Blaster
Audigy card with the game.

If your card encounters a conflict with a peripheral device, you may need to change
its resource settings. For details, see “Resolving I/O Conflicts” on page C-8.
When any resource setting is changed, make sure that the environment variables
(see “Environment Variables” on page B-5) reflect the changes as well. You can view
your system environment by typing
