Live! Value Sound Card User's Guide
Overview • From the MS-DOS box in Windows 95/98 • In the Windows 95/98 MS-DOS mode
Legacy games in the market have been designed for only MS-DOS. SB

This is the recommended method.
To open the box:
- Click the Start button on the taskbar of Windows 95/98, point to
Programs, and then click MS-DOS Prompt.

from the MS-DOS box. The game may be incompatible with Windows 95/98, or there is
