Each time I boot W98 now it detects my SoundblasterLive X-gamer card and tries to install the "Soundblaster Emulation Driver", then... uuuuughh! Blue Screen!!!:|
It already installed the SBLive drivers the first time around, but then it asked to reboot and when I did it "detected" again and started installing these stupid "emulation" drivers. At this point the only thing I know to do to get back into W98 is just take the sound card out and boot it without one. Hate to do that though. Anybody know how to deal with this?? Thanks in advance!:)

I can enter safe mode easily enough. In fact, I can access the Win98 partition and folders from W2K which I'm using now on a seperate partition. But I don't know what the procedure is exactly to delete the emulation driver? What steps exactly to do that? Thanks. :confused:
