vidmouse:
Or, if you're deadset on using MAME32 older versions,
they can be found here....

My suggestion is to look at the bios on the Compaq.
There should be a facility to enable the IRQs to manual rather than OS.
Swap whatever is using IRQ 5 with IRQ 7 - odds are you are not wanting to use a printer with MAME.
Get snoop.exe (google it) and it will see your IRQs after post and dos boot.
I had the same problems in the past with Compaqs and it solved my issues.
RayB:
My concern is that even if he got the IRQ conflicts out of the way, does the on-board sound support the DOS Sound Blaster drivers?
If you can get sound out of Windows mode, then yeah, your best bet may in fact be to use the Command line version. (but use an older version of MAME! Like .69 or .55 or even older)
ark_ader:
He would need to set the Blaster variables, otherwise I do not see a problem, also good to enable Legacy Sound support in BIOS. Funny thing is PCI can share IRQs, unless his PCI card is faulty....
