	Here's the appropriate section gleaned from my config.sys:

[MENU]
<deletia>
menuitem=SOUNDBLASTER, Setup for Soundblaster Emulation
menuitem=SBNET, Setup for SB Emulation with WFWG Network
menuitem=MAXMEM, Maximum Memory Available

<deletia>

[SOUNDBLASTER]
STACKS=0,0
DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS 
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE RAM I=E000-E5FF I=B000-B7FF
DOS=HIGH,umb
rem ************** DOS Sound *****************
rem DOS Audio Device Driver:
DEVICEhigh=C:\IBMAUDIO\DIAG\AUDTEST.SYS /V=10
DEVICEhigh=C:\IBMAUDIO\AUDIODD\TPAUDDD.SYS
rem ************ ANSI Driver **************
DEVICEHIGH=C:\DOS\ANSI.SYS

[SBNET]
DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS 
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE RAM I=E000-E5FF I=B000-B7FF
DOS=HIGH,umb
rem ************** DOS Sound *****************
rem DOS Audio Device Driver:

DEVICEhigh=C:\IBMAUDIO\AUDIODD\TPAUDDD.SYS
rem ************ ANSI Driver **************
DEVICEHIGH=C:\DOS\ANSI.SYS
DeviceHigh=C:\WINDOWS\IFSHLP.SYS
STACKS=9,256
LASTDRIVE=Z

[MAXMEM]
STACKS=0,0
DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS 
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS RAM I=E000-E5FF I=B000-B7FF
DOS=HIGH,umb

[COMMON]
rem ********* Other Stuff *******************

rem ******* Advanced Power Management (APM) Driver ******* 
DeviceHigh=C:\DOS\POWER.EXE
rem *********** Stacker ********************
DEVICE=C:\STAC\DPMS.EXE
DeviceHIGH=C:\STAC\STACHIGH.SYS


And from my Autoexec.bat:

:SOUNDBLASTER
LH C:\DOS\Smartdrv.exe 3072 512
PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\NDW;C:\THINKPAD;C:\DOS;C:\BAT;D:\TOOLS\NU;C:\STAC;E:\games
ps2 br n
rem ******* To install SoundBlaster Compatibility ********
SET DSPPATH=C:\IBMAUDIO\AUDIODD
LOADHIGH C:\IBMAUDIO\VDD\SVAUDIO.EXE
LH C:\DOS\Mouse.com
call c:\bat\ownrecho.bat

:SBNET
LH C:\DOS\Smartdrv.exe 1024 512
PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\NDW;C:\THINKPAD;C:\DOS;C:\BAT;D:\TOOLS\NU;C:\STAC;E:\games
ps2 br n
rem ******* To install SoundBlaster Compatibility ********
SET DSPPATH=C:\IBMAUDIO\AUDIODD
SET WIN$=C:\WINDOWS
LOADHIGH C:\IBMAUDIO\VDD\SVAUDIO.EXE
LH C:\DOS\Mouse.com
LH C:\IBMVESA\VESA
C:\WINDOWS\net start /verbose
call c:\bat\ownrecho.bat
goto checkwin

:MAXMEM
PATH=C:\DOS;C:\WINDOWS;C:\BAT;C:\THINKPAD;C:\STAC
ps2 br n
call c:\bat\ownrecho.bat
goto end

:END

	I don't know if this will help any, but it works for me.  But then
again, I really don't play games much on my ThinkPad.  I can easily count
on one hand how many times I booted up with any of these configurations
in the past 6 months.  ;)
