Welcome to the world of Plug and Play (PnP).

If you are going to install your Creative PnP card in a PnP system
like Windows 95, you only need to “plug” the card into your
personal computer and the card will “play” shortly after the system
reboots.

However, if you want to install this card in a non-PnP environment
such as DOS/Windows 3.1x, you need to use Creative PnP
Configuration Manager (CTCM) and Creative PnP Configuration
Utility (CTCU).

So, we have prepared this leaflet to show you how to install and use
CTCM and CTCU in your system. We have also provided some
information here, from page 12 to page 17, to help you understand
basic PnP concepts as well as Creative’s PnP solution for non-PnP
environments. And to find out how to solve some common PnP
installation problems, just flip to the last section which starts from
page 17.

The information here is organized into the following sections:
