Sound Blaster AWE64 Gold sound card: I want to install the full functionality of the software: minimum requirements are--Intel Pentium or AMD-k5 133mhz and 16mb RAM-- I have AMD 1ghz and 256 RAM
installing to a 7gig hard drive and the software still won't install everything...
Is there anyone whom has some knowledge with this?
Thank you

I will try a guess at this one,but it sounds as though it may not be enough space to install the full installation option which requires 21 mbyte of hard disk space for program files plus an additional 2 mbytes for programs
More space may be required if the drive is in a compressed form
Check the drive and see how much space you have available,using My Computer

hardrive (enough space) my drives are not compressed....

Hi,

When you say "won't install everything" do you mean there is an error? Or what actually happens?

Also what OS are you using? The AWE64 is an older card and some parts of its software may not be supported on the newer OS's.

Check for updates on Creative's site.

Cheers,
Tim.

Thank you TimTheToolMan, Sorry to be a bit vage:
The OS:WIN98 (used this sound card for a year on previous computer with WIN98): the error I receive--Minimum System Requirments for Creative WaveSynth installation are Intel Pentium or AMD-5k 133mhz processor & 16MB RAM--(I have the requirments) Its like the installation software does not recognize my system..
I do have an email to Creative on this matter too
