I have a system here where i work, and when attempting to get into Windows, it brings up the error "mmsound.drv cannot be loaded" and the system quickly goes to the shutdown screen.
Here are a few things i tried:

I tried remming the line out in the system.ini. It then brings a fatal exception OE upon beggining of windows.

Is there any known way around this without wiping the drive??

Either send me an email or post on here please. thanks.

just an idea, try getting an updated sound card driver (that's what .drv means). also check to make sure you have the right driver for your sound card

1. REM (";") Display.drv=pnpdrvr.drv from SYSTEM.INI.
2. Re-install Display driver.

This works 100%! The error has nothing to do with
the sound card.
