This situation can be identified by receiving a "Can't play selected sound" error from the Control Panel Sounds applet. IBM has informed me that this is a known problem (APAR PJ16129), and that they "are working on it." SoundWorks remedies this situation until IBM can find the cause and an adequate solution. INSTALLATION 1. Start Win-OS/2 Control Panel. 2. Start the "Drivers" applet. 3. Click the "Add..." button. 4. Select "Unlisted or Updated Driver" and click "OK". 5. When prompted for the disk, specify the name of the drive or directory containing the bundled files, OEMSETUP.INF and SNDWORKS.DRV, and click "OK". 6. Select "SoundWorks 1.0" and click "OK". 7. Restart Windows. (Note that Control Panel will modify your Windows' SYSTEM.INI file.) CONTACTING THE AUTHOR Have a suggestion or comment or found a bug?
