    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.
