DOSCab + pure DOS + SB Live
nierce:
hi,
i had the same problem...i needed LIVE! to play in DOS and not to crash
so, had sb live dos drivers installed i had tried various combinations of
bios settings and so on...
originally the sb live dos driver is installed with irq 11 (or 10)
with this...i started ft2 (or something else) and it has crashed (stopped doing
anything)
i thought that it has something to do with graphic card.
but i was surprised when i had turn off allocate IRQ to PCI VGA in bios
and it works. (btw imo DOScab is not so good. it's stylish but the system
of control is bad. i rather use mpxplay.)
i have graphic card in AGP, sb live!

DOSCab and Mpxplay are two completely different kind of players. Mpxplay is a media player and DOSCab is designed to simulate an actual jukebox for integration into a cabinet without a keyboard and often without a mouse. Thus, the control system leans heavily toward acting like a 1950's era jukebox. Thank you, though, for giving it a try!

Later versions of windows are somewhat forgiving about IRQ sharing. DOS is not. Your solution to disable the VGA IRQ is just avoiding the real problem which is an IRQ colflict. To get it working, you need to map out the IRQ distribution for your motherboard and make sure that the PCI cards are installed in slots that do not share IRQs.
What make/model of motherboard do you have and what add-in cards are in your system?
