hi all,
I got the duke3d original and last time i install the duke3d it works on windows 98 and recently i upgrade my hardware and also the os to windows 2000 professional and i install duke 3d on the recently upgraded pc. I tried to run the duke3d.exe it throws this error "Sound Blaster" cannot be detected. The duke3d.exe does not run. What should I Do?
. This is the error i recieve when i run the duke.exe in command prompt:

Using: 'DUKE3D.GRP'.
KB_Startup: Keyboard Started
Compiling: 'GAME.CON'.
Including: 'DEFS.CON'.
Including: 'USER.CON'.
Found 0 warning(s), 0 error(s).
Code Size:48516 bytes(1425 labels).
Using Setup file: 'DUKE3D.CFG'
CONTROL_Startup: Mouse Present
Loading art header.
Checking music inits.
Checking sound inits.
Sound Blaster not responding on selected port.

I believe in the DUKE3D.CFG must change its configuration but i am not sure what to change in order for the sound blaster to work. Can u please help me? images/icons/confused.gif images/icons/confused.gif images/icons/confused.gif

Are you using original driver for Sound Blaster?
I had the same problem without original driver.
Othe reason non-compabitability (maybe wrong).
Try choosing no sound in setup.

You must have run the program before - I don't really get your problem understanding.

If you've been copying a duke3d.cfg around then well, images/icons/rolleyes.gif
