Yes I was meaning that release. I think this fixed a lot of bugs in win95
and is/was the most stable release/version of windoze ever. BTW we refer
to it as win97 I didn't know that it was unfamiliar.

Well there should be no problem at all if you use a SB-live card like me.
There is a DOS TSR called SBE-INIT.exe which is loaded in the autoexec.bat
file during startup by windoze. This provides the necessary SB16
compatibility to run dos games.
This program is automatically installed by the Creative Liveware Setup
utility. I only had to install Liveware 3.0 to get this installed in my
autoexec.bat automatically.
