RE: Help!!!!!!!!!!!!

The set-up must have renamed your Autoexec.Bat and Config.sys.  I'm 
assuming you're using Windows 95.  Soundcards love to insert little 
strings into those files.  Stephen Goodman has already given you very good 
advice.  But I had already typed my $0.02 when I saw his words.  So here 
they go anyway.

You might have to manually find your correct set-up files and r‘engage the 
CD-ROM driver, then reboot your computer.  Else, you might want to have 
Windows 95 "redetect" your CD-ROM.  Right-click "My Computer" and go into 
properties.  Then go to the Device Manager tab; click on "Refresh."  This 
should make Windows 95 look for all your hardware again. 

If you can't get this going these ways:

I'd say 1) call the people who manufactured your computer; or 2) Call the 
Soundblaster technical support; or 3) call Microsoft and pay the $35 for 
them to help you get the CD-ROM back.

Especially when you're not very familiar with this stuff, it tends to be a 
hellish experience.  But look at the bright side:  You're learning 
something new.

Cheers.

Javier
