Game Port Installation Problem

I have a C-Media 8738 sound card in a newly upgraded system which has a dual game port that will not install. AMD Athlon XP 2800, ABIT NF7-2S Motherboard, 1 GB of Corsair RAM and Windows XP PRO. The OEM drivers install okay, and the sound portion of the card works fine. However in the Device Driver area, the game port properties indicate that it is trying to use memory address 201-201, and that is not available. Apparently that is fixed either by the card or the motherboard, as there is no option to try other memory addresses. It also reflects a code 12 - could not find enough available resources to install. I have tried removing other installed hardware with no effect. Checked all hardware memory addresses and none use the 201-201 address, in fact the motherboard resources do not reflect this address as available anywhere. Since I can't change the address manually, I am in a catch 22! Anyone know what determines the 201-201 setting - motherboard bios, Windows, or the card?

Would appreciate any ideas anyone has on this problem!

Thanks
 
You might try different drivers like this one from CM's site. If that doesn't work then you might need to disable your old sound-card device in the Windows device manager or goto Control Panel and change the default output or something.

You might also not have enough free RAM, disk space or the install path is set incorrectly. Some installers by default set the installation directory up to be C:\Blah and if you aren't using C: as your main drive that can be an issue. Best of luck.
 
I am having the same problrms with my son's and my own comp
The problem is with the chipset The nforce2 chipset will not allow you to use the 0201 (I think) memory address
I have been looking for a workaround ie. changing address soundcard requests
but so far no luck

some info at least

    LOL! A tweak job!

    this is the fix I get from that yeah this is hard to control. disabling bots is pretty much necessary as ai and other bots would push really old threads to the top. reduce weight of view count. disable guest view tracking if you really want to push active threads to the top. a bit of tinkering for a few days with the weights and other settings should get you a decent trending widget box.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I changed the settings a bit.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Narrowed it to 7 days for the half-life and set views to 0 weight.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I dont think Trending would work for this forum it would be better to just have the last 5 posts from anywhere
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Probably will have to give it some time to update.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I'm guessing it is not retroactive.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Next on the punch list: Update the server to Ubuntu 24.04.

    One thing I have noticed and I dont know if it is by design but like 1 out of 3 times I come to the site the Anubis screen just hangs open, if I refresh it will go away but sometimes it hangs
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I've seen that as well.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Wow - the change in the stats are major. I kind of knew it was all bots but wow, to see the effect. Why the social media sites cant do something like this I have no idea.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Probably inflates their numbers so they look better to advertisers.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Yeah google does not filter those bots. I remember when Apex was doing Google ads I saw the same IPs in there as I was seeing here - google is totally tracking all those bots as traffic and most google traffic, at least ours, was all bots
  • The Helper The Helper:

    Weekend went by too fast. Next weekend I am going to try to do a nature thing - buddy of mine lives by the Colorado river and has some kayaks and invited me to do some kayaking from a place he knows to get on the river.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    That sounds like an adventure.
