Your sound card should have drivers for win`95 and dos
Install them seperately
Don`t run any games in win/dos mode.
Instead make a system floppy and copy your config.sys and
autoexec.bat files onto it.
Delete from your c drive the two former files, 95 doesn`t need them.
then before you boot up, stick ya floppy in !
That puts you into real dos mode
When you get that up and running let me know, and i`ll tell you how to
make a menu from the floopy that lets you choose which dos game you want
run.
Good Luck !
