SUMMARY
If you are using Windows Sound System and a SNDSYS.DRV entry is not present in the [DRIVERS] section of the SYSTEM.INI file, the following error may occur:

Cannot find the SNDSYS Driver

Correctly setting up the [DRIVERS] section in the SYSTEM.INI file may correct this problem.



MORE INFORMATION
This problem can be caused if the [Drivers] section in the SYSTEM.INI file is not set up correctly.

This section should be configured in the following manner:   [DRIVERS] MIDIMAPPER=MIDIMAP.DRV TIMER=TIMER.DRV WAVE=SNDSYS.DRV AUX=SNDSYS.DRV MIDI=SNDSYS.DRV WAVEMAPPER=MSACM.DRV If WAVE=SNDSYS.DRV is not present, Volume Control, Recording Control, Voice Pilot, Quick Recorder, and Sound Finder will not load. Also, if AUX=SNDSYS.DRV is not present, Volume Control, Recording Control, Voice Pilot, and Sound Finder will also not load.

NOTE: This message can also occur if in the &quot;drivers=&quot; line is missing from the [boot] section of the SYSTEM.INI, This line usually reads as follows:   drivers=mmsystem.dll If this line is missing, use a text editor (such as Notepad) to edit your SYSTEM.INI file, and re-enter the line.
