Subject:	SCOUG-Help: Re: Thinkpad and Sound

My Thinkpad 600E lost its sound -- the file:
BASEDEV=vhdo0437.sys refused to load during boot up. Thinkpad
configuration utility did not show any problems. AND Windows sound on the
same computer works fine.

Thinking that my Warp 4 might have gotten corrupted, I tried installing
eCS v. 1.2.

The installation loaded the Uniaud drivers instead of the sound blaster
drivers that I had under Warp 4. During boot, I get an error message SYS
1201 unable to attach the 32 bit driver and then an error message the
uniaud16.sys was not installed.

If I rem out the Uniaud drivers, I then get the BASEDEV=vhdo0437.sys
unable to install.

I thought I would use MINSTALL to remove the uniaud drivers and install
the sound blaster drivers, but when I type: MINSTALL, I get an error
message, Could not load file - Return code = 8.

I looked to manually install the drivers, but there is no SBP2D2.SYS file
in the MMOS2 subdirectory.

Is there anything short of rerunning the Install program that I can try?

I wonder if there might not be a hardware problem. Nothing shows on any
diagnostics, but every once in a while, the computer emits a series of
eight beeps with no pop up messages visible.

Also, I could not load the networking stuff during the install because
certain Thinkpad utilities need to be present. Once I got that taken care
of, I ran MPTS and intalled my wireless lan card. It seems to be working
-- Wlanstat says I am connected to the internet. But neither MR2/ICE nor
Mozilla can connect. There must be one more step I need to do.

Any suggestions for either the sound or the lan would be very much
appreciated.

Thanks,
Sandy
