You must exit Windows version 3.0 and 3.0a and run Windows with Multimedia Extensions again after adding a new Multimedia driver within the Driver option in the Control Panel. This is so that the changes can take effect.

This information does not apply to later versions of Windows.

When adding a new driver, the SYSTEM.INI file gets updated but not reinitialized. This can only be done when first starting Windows with Multimedia Extensions.
