SOUND or BLASTER environment values are missing
or incorrect.
When you install your audio software, the commands
are automatically added to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file so
that both environment strings are set up when your
system restarts.
However, the command to set up the SOUND or
BLASTER environment might not be included in the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file because you might have edited
the file and deleted the command, or you might have
installed another software which assigned another value
to the command.
To set up the BLASTER environment in the respective
system files, run DIAGNOSE (see "Understanding the
Installation" on page A-1).
To set up the SOUND environment, insert the statement
SET SOUND=C:\SB16 into the AUTOEXEC.BAT
file using a text editor.
Reboot your system for the changes to take effect.
The directory name SB16 may be VIBRA16 in
your installation.
Error message "Out of environment space".
The system environment space is used up.
Add the statement SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM
/E:512 /P to the CONFIG.SYS file.
/E defines a new size for the system environment space.
You can choose a higher value if the environment size is
already 512 bytes. (Usually, the next value is 1024 bytes.)
For details on the SHELL command, refer to your
DOS manual.
