My SoundBlaster AudioPCI sound card, I believe, is causing all of my games to be screwed up.
I've gone a long time without a sound card - and all my games have worked fine. But today, when I just put in my new sound card... games like Half-Life, Ultima Online, etc. have all decided to stop working.
(For instance: when the sound card is in, I'd open up Half-Life, go into the main menu, and everything would be fine. But when I physically start to enter an ACTUAL Half-Life game, my computer screen just turns blank and I have to restart.)
Take the sound card out, and the games work again.
I can't return the sound card, it was given to me from a bud... is there anything I can do to get my games working again? (aside from just taking out the soundcard) I'm stumped.
Thanks

P.S. I'm running the latest soundcard drivers, too...
