I have to add something:
all executable files have a check-sum. If something changes the scanner
sounds the alarm... you MIGHT have a virus... the user has to decide
what to do.
The changed file was: ISUN0413.exe in the Win95 directory.
I decided to rename this one because I have no idea about the function
of this file... any idea? No extra trouble until now with win95.
Previously I tried to install a sound blaster card... no luck.
Awfull plug and pray twizard... the card was new with a CD, but... @#$%&
Maybe the CD changed something in ISUN0413.exe. You never know with
wizards.
This CD told me to buy a new PC for 133MHz speed is minimum and 16Mb
RAM needed. This can't be... (using pentium 75 machine)
So no sound, a lot of trouble and abt $30 into the drain.
Very creative, the creative labs and M$.
Bastiaan, changing from sound blaster to Harry Potter... I need a want
to cure this.
