The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows 3.1
  • Microsoft Windows 3.11
This article was previously published under Q81679

SYMPTOMS

After you set up the JukeBox program (JUKEBOX.EXE) that comes with the Sound Blaster I card, the following error message may be displayed:
The Sound Blaster cannot be installed. Please check your WIN.INI settings.

CAUSE

The Sound Blaster I JukeBox program is not compatible with Microsoft Windows version 3.1.

This version of JukeBox does not use the Multimedia Extensions. It uses a custom DLL file called SNDBLST.DLL and assumes that it has complete control over the Ad Lib synthesizer. This causes problems with the Microsoft Multimedia Ad Lib driver.

RESOLUTION

There is another version of the JukeBox application called MMJBOX.EXE that uses the Microsoft Multimedia Extensions MCI sequencer. To obtain a copy of MMJBOX.EXE, please contact Creative Labs.
