WINDOWS NT 4.0 Audio and Modem DRIVER INSTALLATION:
====================================================
If you have an older version of the drivers, please uninstall them
now using the uninstallation steps in section C. After installing
the card, you can install multimedia drivers from the CDROM's
\NT40 directory. Here are step-by-step directions on Windows
NT 4.0 installation:
First, ensure that your BIOS Setting "Installed O/S" to "Other".
1. Select Settings->Control Panel from the Start menu, double-
click on the Multimedia icon, switch to the Devices tab and
press the Add button.
2. Select Unlisted or Updated Driver from the list of drivers
and press the Ok button.
3. Enter the folder of your Vortex NT device driver
(e.g. \Audio\L8B\NT40\V3_25.05E for English or V3_25.05J for Japanese)
into the text box and press the "Ok" button.
4. Select "Aureal Vortex PCI Audio AU8810" and press the "Ok"
button. This also installs the Vortex joystick drivers.
5. If the driver has already been installed on your computer, you
will see a dialog box that lets you choose whether to add a new
driver or continue to use the current driver. If you get this
prompt, press the "New" button, then press the "Ok" button.
When the driver has installed, click on Don't Restart.
6. Open Control Panel -> Ports. Add a new "virtual" com port (e.g. COM3, Base I/O to 2E8).
Ignore the IRQ seeting for that port. Click on Ok and Don't Restart.
7. Install the modem portion (aumodem.inf) using the Control Panel Modems applet.
Select "Don't Autodetect.I want to select my modem from a List" Use "Have Disk"
Button in that window, and navigate to the Modem /INF file in the Driver directory.
(e.g. \Audio\L8B\NT40\V3_25.05E for English or V3_25.05J for Japanese)
Select the com port(COM3) you added in the previous step.
8. Reboot NT.(COLD BOOT ONLY! Don't do a Soft Restart)
Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).

Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
