I'm Trying to play the 7th Guest on my new computer but i can't run it because i can't get my sound card to work because it's not on the install list. (adlib, soundblaster, etc.) how can i go about getting this thing working?

Hi B.
What soundcard do you have?
Most soundcards are Soundblaster compatible and you would choose something such as Soundblaster Pro or one of the other Soundblasters from the list.
Take care,
Linda

Problem: That game is in DOS. If your HDD isnīt NTFS make a boot-disk with dos-driver for your soundcard and add it into the config.sys and autoexec.bat . if NTFS, sorry,no chance to get sound. then you might choose no sound or if not,try adlib for midi onely or seldom u can choose pc-speaker instead. Problem is normally: SB on old games was set 220-240, irq 5 or 7. This settings are normaly allready in use by Win2000 and XP . even if you change your sndcard in 2000/xp onto that values,no snd occures cause itīs in use then by the 32bit config of the os and looked for 16bit-dos.
