Hi,

I'd really, really, really like to play some of my great old dos games.  I
have an AWE32 PNP.  However, when I try and install the dos drivers it
refuses to install, giving me the message 'You are running INSTALL From
Microsoft Windows 95.'

This occurs even if I exit to dos mode and run the install program.  These
games will _not_ run in a dos window under win98.

How can I get this card up and running in straight dos???

Thanks,
Peter

(If you would be so kind as to reply via email as well as posting to the
group it would be appreciated to make sure I don't miss your message.
