After the installation, CTCM and CTCU will be invoked each time
you boot your system. CTCM will scan for and configure any
unconfigured Creative PnP cards. CTCU will run in silent mode and
update the parameters needed by your Creative and Windows drivers.
It will also update the BLASTER environment variable if it detects a
Creative audio card in the system.

For more details on how the CTCM and CTCU commands work,
please read the sections “Using CTCM” in page 3 and “Using CTCU”
in page 4.

Using CTCM

After booting your system, you may want to configure a Creative PnP
card again. You can do so by running Creative PnP Configuration
Manager (CTCM) from the DOS prompt:

1. Exit to DOS if you are in Windows 3.1x.

2. Change to the directory of your CTCM files. The default

directory is C:\CTCM.

3. Type CTCM and press .

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. Just make sure that the statement which
invokes CTCM in your CONFIG.SYS file is placed AFTER
the statement that calls the other configuration manager.
