AST RESEARCH, INC.        TECHNICAL BULLETIN # 1375           7-19-96 
 
 

TITLE: Bravo MS Crystal Audio DOS/Win Drivers


SUMMARY 
 
   After choosing Windows 95 at the Dual-Boot option, the user
   may be unable to run DOS-based games or other applications.
 
   This issue affects the following system: 501815.


ISSUE 
 
   When a user chooses the Windows 95 operating system from the 
   Dual-Boot option on the Bravo Pentium system, the disk images for 
   DOS/Windows 3.x are deleted.  Users who wish to run DOS games or 
   applications using the embedded Crystal sound at that point are 
   unable to acquire the drivers.


BACKGROUND
 
   The dual install process removes all DOS-related drivers when 
   the user chooses Windows 95 as the operating system.


ACTION 
 
   Download the Crystal CS4232 audio drivers, version 1.30 
   (AST p/n 911950-035 and 911950-036) or later, and install them
   following the README.TXT file instructions.
