Well, all I can say is that I have had a much different experience, thankfully, thus far. My model is the 760EL (9547-U4H) and have installed DirectX 2 and Return of Arcade and Ultimate Doom for Windows 95 and everything has worked just fine for me. My chipset is the Cyber 9320 PCI; I don't know what chipset the 365XD uses. However, our audio devices are the same (ESS AudioDrive 1688) so audio shouldn't be a problem. You might try installing the latest drivers from ESS but my prior set also worked fine. You know, Windows 95 has a very nasty habit of trying to install the ESS AudioDrive with the old Essfm.drv file and OPL2/OPL3 synthesis but this shouldn't prevent the device from responding under DirectX. I happen to keep the driver file (ESS .zip archive) on my HDD because of how often Windows will overwrite things. To reinstall you need to REMOVE the AudioDrive within Device Manager then, WITHOUT REBOOTING, go to Add/Remove New Hardware and install the 1688 AudioDrive (NOT the plug and play variety). ---------- > From: Costas S.
