Creative PnP Configuration Software
Using CTCM
Using CTCU
The Creative PnP Configuration software comprises two different
applications:
q Creative Configuration Manager (CTCM)
q Creative Configuration Utility (CTCU)
To configure Creative PnP cards in Windows 95 MS-DOS
Mode, CTCM is required but CTCU is not necessary since
CTCM can get both legacy (non-PnP) and PnP card settings
from Windows 95.
Upon booting your system, the Creative Configuration Manager
(CTCM) scans for and configures any unconfigured Creative PnP
cards. You can also run CTCM from a DOS prompt to reconfigure a
Creative PnP card.
1. Exit to DOS if you are in Windows 3.x or restart in MS-DOS
Mode if you are in Windows 95.
2. Change to the directory where your CTCM and CTCU
programs are installed. The default directory is C:\CTCM.
3. Type CTCM and press the Enter key. CTCM will configure
your Creative PnP card(s) and update the BLASTER
environment variable if it detects a Creative audio card in your
system.
CTCM configures Creative PnP cards only. But it can work
with or without another PnP configuration manager installed in
the same system.
Run Creative PnP Configuration Utility (CTCU) when:
q Your PnP cards’ settings do not work properly. For example, some
systems do not support high DMA (Direct Memory Access) and
your PnP devices is set to use high DMA. Run CTCU to select
another setting that does not use high DMA.
q You need to add resource settings for legacy (non-PnP) cards.
