	SoundFusion(tm) Driver CD.  Windows95 will detect the PCI

	"Crystal SoundFusion (tm) PCI Audio Accelerator will be found by the 
	Operating System.  Press the FINISH button.

    2.	Again, Windows95 will request that you provide the Crystal 
	SoundFusion(tm) Driver CD.  Press the OK button to continue, then 
	find the Win95 directory on your CD-ROM drive, using the browse button,

	Driver CD.  Select the uninstall option. This application will do an automatic
	clean up of the Windows 95 Crystal Audio registry entries.  Many problems with 
	reinstallation occur because of existing registry entries from previous 
	installations and because of the \WINDOWS\INF\OEMx.INF files.  After 
	running uninstall, the various Crystal devices should not be listed 
	in the Device Manager window.  

    2. 	Restart your system.  If you want to remove or install any hardware,
