sound card does not have disc, found download on website for corredct sound card, i may have hit wrong key when asked where to send or what file to use when opening file, needs autoexec.bat, which is on comp, but when downloading file msdos prompt keeps popping up autoexec, tried to use floppy, downloaded file but says can't find autoexec.bat

Can you post a link to the file that you downloaded?

[cody580]

i think tb525 is on the rite track you some hoh are not dnloading it rite you should be able to install it and remember where it went, and point to that folder when windows tries to install it

do you have win zip to open the zip file with and if you do is it out dated if so go to winzip.com and dnload it>cody

It sounds like you are trying to install the incorrect driver for your OS. What operating system are you currently using?

[cody580]

at this point i am totaly confused if you will give the brand of your computor,sound card,and operating system, someone will probabely find the driver you need and help you to dnload,and install it

Hi Pat.

I think you have possibly run into a couple of problems here which in combination are confusing us.

1) You may have downloaded a driver for the BeOs operating system.

2) You seem to have mucked up your file association for *.zip files and Windows now thinks it needs autoexec.bat to open them.

Solutions:
1) Make sure you have downloaded a Win98 driver for your ensoniq es1370 chipset soundcard.

2) Click the zip file once in Windows Explorer to highlight it. Hold down SHIFT key and Right-click the file and you should get an option "open with". Select that then on the list that appears, find winzip or whatever you use to open zip files. If you don't have anything, www.winzip.com offers the most popular shareware unzipper.
