SYMPTOMS
After you install the support software for a Gateway 2000 Aztech sound card, the installation program displays a message stating that it is restarting Windows 95.

CAUSE
The support software for this sound card was designed for Windows 3.1 and fails to correctly identify Windows 95.

 * 1) In Control Panel, double-click the System icon.
