Power connections are fine also. Two days ago, I installed a game called Hard Truck II. It was playing fine yesterday though. I did go into system device manager and nothing was showing in yellow or red. I am running Windows 98 second edition. And I see an ESS SOLO-1 PCI Audiodrive listed under sound, video and gaming devices. Would this be my sound card?
