...now what do I do?
Sometime ago, I gave my folks my old machine: a no-name Pentium 66 with 32MB. The soundcard was an ancient soundblaster that must've blown up from electrostatic discharge, because by the time I set it up, the card was non-functional.
So...I got them a cheap CompUSA type card to put in, which I did without noting the settings of the previous card. As a result, once I installed the drivers and stuff, it now never fully loads Win95 and gets stuck with a perpetual hourglass.
Is my best course of action to:
1. pull out the new card
2. put in the old card
3. hopefully it boots up fully
4. note settings
5. reinstall new card
OR
am I totally screwed?
Any thoughts and comments appreciated, thanks.
