Note
When re-installing Windows 95 only (not a full system restore), with the Sound 4 Winmodem installed, this diskette must be used to supply the driver files for the modem and sound devices. Failure to do this will cause the modem and all of the sound devices to be incorrectly set up under "Other Devices" in the Device Manager. If this happens, remove all of the devices listed in the "Other Devices" category as outlined above, and re-install the drivers according to this procedure.
