Sorry for posting this question which probably has already been asked a 
hundred times, but I never paid attention as I just bought T7G for myself.
 
I'm having problems with sound.  During the intro, e.g., when the pages 
start flipping there is an INCREDIBLY annoying clicking sound during the 
voice narration.  When I type "V ?" it says, "you're in virtual mode, you 
might have problems with PCM sound."
 
Okay, but how do I run T7G in 32 bit mode?  I'm used to doing that for 
some programs, but how do I load mouse, SCSI drivers, sound card drivers, 
MSCDEX and all the other stuff and have 570k left to run the program?
I've tried mickey-mousing with loading stuff high in config.sys, but all 
the memory hogs are in autoexec, and I don't know how to load them high 
without using EMS.  HELP!  (a sample config and autoexec from someone 
who's not a moron like myself with the same hardware would probably do 
the trick)
 
For the record, I've got version 1.1t of the discs, and I tried the T7G-FIX
patch (5-11-93 for filedates -- no different from my CD).  The game is 
almost unplayable because it's too hard to hear voices.  I've got a 
486-66, 8mb ram, Soundblaster16 SCSI-2, Toshiba 3401, Cirrus Logic Local 
bus 542x or something like that.

p.s. I have m:20 in mscdex, and I tried emm386 with the noems option (which
put me in virtual mode according to "v ?")
