You may well do, and in the case of your modem, the disk
that comes with that. Particularly if the sound and modem
are one device and its never been properly installed.

Likely not, particularly with the modem.

Yes, that is certainly possible, particularly if its an unusual
modem that Win95 isnt prepared to use its own drivers for
etc. And even if it is, it may well want to get those off the CD.

This area is one that can bite even relatively experienced users
if you dont have the Win95 CD and the disk for the modem etc.

What is the story there, did you buy the whole system as a new one
with that hardware installed or have you bought it second hand etc ?
