I have a AK75-EC motherboard that seems to have some onboard Sound Blaster. Have not got it working, but all DOS games recognize it. I also tried to install SB Pro drivers and the installation program detects it as SB Pro. But I can't get any sound output. What may be the problem?

I installed my old Sound Blaster Live! CT4670 card yesterday on a Windows 98 computer. When testing the sound in games like Commander Keen 6 and Space Quest 4, the audio output doesn't sound even that good as in DOSBox. Overall the Windows 98 computer is better for older games.

These scroll wheels were very dirty and there were dirt also in the spring that presses against the inside of the scroll wheel. So I don't really know how it should feel when scrolling. Compared to the other mouse that I cleaned, this seems to be a little quieter. The other mouse I cleaned is …

I have lately been cleaning some Logitech mouses and have a question about these. It looks like that the scroll wheel on these mouses would have had some yellowish lubricant in the rails and in the spring that pushes against the inside of the scroll wheel.
