17. If you run into problems, check your SYSTEM.INI by choosing RUN from
the File menu of the Program Manager, and typing SYSEDIT in the
commandline box. Check your [Drivers] and [sndblst.drv] sections.
They should look something like this:

[drivers]
Timer=timer.drv
Midimapper=midimap.drv
Aux=sbpaux.drv
MIDI=sbpfm.drv
Wave=sbpsnd.drv
MIDI1=sbpsnd.drv

[sndblst.drv]
port=220
int=7
dmachannel=1

A MIDI-MAP has been created to make use of SBPFM.DRV, please use the MIDI
MAPPER icon under Control Panel to customize it to your requirements.

Under Windows v3.1, MIDI channel 10 is referenced as the drum channel.
If you are having problems with the FM synth not sounding "right", try
modifying the configuration with the MIDI Mapper.

Two additional Windows applications are provided. They are MMJBOX.EXE and
MMCBOX.EXE, please copy them into your Windows directory.

*** I M P O R T A N T ***

We are including drivers that make use of Device Virtualization. These
drivers will allow DOS Apps that use the SoundBlaster to run in Enhanced
Mode.

Please make sure that the line reading "device=vsbpd.386" under the [386Enh]
section in your SYSTEM.INI is correct. If it reads "device=vsbd.386",
simply change it to read "device=vsbpd.386". Make sure the file is in your
Windows SYSTEM directory. If it is not, copy it from the Drivers Disk.
