STTNG:A Final Unity & Ultima8 in XP

hi all..

i got to install and run STTNG: A Final Unity On my WinXP Pro
and it worked only when i installed the game with the new Installer from MicroProse but i can't configure the sound properly because i don't know my IRQ and DMA channels..
i got SoundBlaster Live! Player card, can someone tell me how to find out what are his properties (IRQ,DMA etc..) ?

Another game i tried to run is Ultima 8: Pagan, using the U8Win9x.exe patch from Origin that produced a U8W.exe file from, the original U8.exe.
The patch was compatible with Win 95/98/Me/2000
so, i tried playing with the Compatibility wizard in Win XP.. but it still didn't work and caused a fatal error - general protection fault...

can anyone tell me what is the problem ?
thanks..

Where do you get the installer for STTNG? And you need VDMSound for sound in XP.

I searched Google...

and found the file called nxgen.zip

I installed VDMS but there is no sound when i try to run it using:
Run with VDMS
why is there no sound?
