I can't get the audio to play on my system? (Part 3 When all else fails!)

In some cases if you re-install Windows 95/98 ™ using the custom install, the problem disappears. Be sure to install EVERYTHING, all options, especially all multimedia options and drivers. The fax and networking options are not necessary, but everything else is.

Check with the manufacturer of your sound card, find out if it can play a DSP TrueSpeech ™ file. They may have updated sound card software drivers, that will play DSP TrueSpeech ™ files.

Note: There are some original OEM Windows 95/98 ™ Disks which will not allow the installation of a generic version of Windows 95/98 ™. Some computer manufacturers have modified the Windows 95/98 ™ installation process in such a way that the DSP TrueSpeech ™ drivers are not loaded properly. In other cases the manufacturer has removed the "Setup.exe" program from the Windows 95/98 ™ disk and you cannot perform a custom install. We are aware of NEC ™ and Packard Bell ™ doing this on some of their systems. There may be other manufacturers doing the same thing. The only suggestion we have, is to check with the manufacturer of your computer about a solution to the problem. We have installed generic versions of Windows 95/98 ™ on these PC’s and have solved the problem. If all else fails purchase a generic version of Windows 95/98 ™ and install it on your machine.
