I would like to know if you had good luck with Win95 installed with 8MB
RAM. I have done that, but speed was not fast. You give two problems,
can't connect to Internet, and no sound. For the first, what does modem
Properties say in Device Manager? What does Modem Diagnostics say? If
both these check out, you should be able to connect with help from your
ISP. For no sound, what does Sound Properties say in Device Manager? If
you need help with modem or sound drivers, what are the make, model of
the devices? Have you tried uninstalling drivers and having Windows look
for best drivers?
