The choices that work:
SB16
I/O = 0x220
IRQ = 7
DMA = channel 1

Those are the default dosbox params.

BTW, Did you run avpatch in dosbox ?
If not, I would advise you to delete your virus folder and start from scratch.
Hello DosRaider
You are a star!!!! I did exactly as you said, starting from scratch, and it worked. No, I had not run the patch in DOSBox, and when I did, I saw a message saying the patch was complete. Also the sound settings obviously also made a big difference.

The last point for others to note, is to right-click the mouse to get past the av-logo screen
(left-click if your mouse is set up for left-handed operation).

Many, many thanks DosRaider - your help is very much appreciated, and thanks for your explanations so I could learn more too.

Now that you helped me get Alien Virus working for my sister, I will type out the instructions for her, then I will try to get on with Martian Memorandum, with Alien Virus to be tackled next after that (seeing it is now installed and working, thanks to DosRaider).

Regards
Wendy
