Privateer and lockup problems (Sorry guys I really tried)

I managed to get my sblive to work, with both sound and music, I even got the static to stop, but now I'm completely stumped. After playing a single comms sound or sometimes during the privtaeer intro, it locks up, I have no idea what the hell I can do to fix this. I have around 608 kb of dos mem free and enough emm. this has me stumped, It did use to work on this system. the computer is a p2 333 with 224 mb ram and an sblive, other than that everything else has always worked the thing is recently we added the sblive and 96mb ram, as well as removed the Sb16 card.

Config.sys:
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE 16384 RAM
DOS=HIGH,UMB
DEVICE=C:\CDPRO\VIDE-CDD.SYS /D:MSCD001 /P:1F0,14 /P:170,15 /P:1E8,12 /P:168,10

Autoexec.bat:
LH C:\MOUSE\GMOUSE.COM
LH C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\MSCDEX /D:MSCD001 /V
SET CTSYN=C:\WINDOWS
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330 T6
C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\SBLIVE\DOSDRV\SBEINIT.COM
 
Just posted a disk image for a boot disk using SBLive sound card, you can download it here

If that does not work, you might try altering you autoexec.bat setup to SET BLASTER=A220 I10 D3 H5 P330 T6. It appears that SBLive in DOS works on these settings
 
The sound may work perfectly, but the fact that it locks up means a setting is probably wrong.

Did you actually try either of the suggestions?
 
The problem is your memory settings. Try this:
---autoexec.bat---
ECHO OFF
SET PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND
SET TEMP=C:\TEMP
SET TMP=C:\TEMP
PROMPT $P$G

LH C:\MOUSE\GMOUSE.COM
LH C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\MSCDEX /D:MSCD001 /V
SET CTSYN=C:\WINDOWS
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330 T6 J200
C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\SBLIVE\DOSDRV\SBEINIT.COM
ECHO ON

---Config.sys---
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE 16384 RAM D=64 FRAME=E000 /I=B000-B7FF
DOS=HIGH,UMB
STACKS=18,256
FILESHIGH=50
BUFFERSHIGH=35
DEVICEHIGH=C:\CDPRO\VIDE-CDD.SYS /D:MSCD001 /P:1F0,14 /P:170,15 /P:1E8,12 /P:168,10

P1 requires a Joystick port (J200).

Thanks, Ghost. Been busy with other projects and I felt like I been hanging out here way too much.:) You know, feeling annoy when someone gives bad advise. I was taking this site way too seriously.
 
THANKYOU JOHN, THANKYOU!!!!! IT works..... now I can run EVERY wc game on my system.... I have successfully got SWC to run on my pc... it just lacks music...
 
Good, when you configure your sound settings in P1 choose SB16 as your sound card and use these settings
Port=220 IRQ=5 DMA=1
Also make sure that in the autoexec.bat the two lines below are enter correctly. The Admins here set this site so if a line of data gets to long it cuts in half.

SET PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND

C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\SBLIVE\DOSDRV\SBEINIT.COM

If you want to get a little fancy you could also add C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\SBLIVE\DOSDRV\ to the SET PATH line.
