it isnt going to matter if you get rid of the text or not. The drivers that are isntalled would still do the same thing.

[GingerNut]

Can you not just delete the sound driver from your hard drive(should be in the system folder), and if necessary reinstall the proper sound driver?

[Cander]

Im sure it would do the same thing. Its coded IN the drivers.

It sounds like you downloaded a very old driver that still uses DOS. (Does your friend want it for DOS?) If so, you can re-install the old one and then:

Ask windows to make a boot disk (Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs>Boot Disk?).
Then (to be sure) make a copy of your current Autoexec.bat, rename it Autoexec.old and put it on the disk.

Then it's best to open Autoexec.bat and type "pause" at the bottom, then restart and make a note of the annoying lines, which should stay on screen, followed by "Press any key to continue".

Carry on booting, then open your Autoexec.bat file and type REM at the start of any line that appears during startup, delete the pause line, save and restart.

IF, on the off chance your PC stops working during any of this, you can use the boot disk to restore the orginal Autoexec.bat, by copying .old from the DOS promt the boot disk makes, and renaming it autoexec.bat again. Or the boot disk might do this for you (depends on version).

But as long as you only REM the lines which annoy you at startup, it should be OK.

Once your sure that you haven't caused any problems in doing this, you can go ahead and delete the REM'd lines.

Hope that helps,

Jez
