	I hate to say this guys but I have a DX4/75 with 8 meg of RAM and Win
95. All I have to do to run the Duke is to double click on it in
Explorer. No fancy reboots, no nothing and it works like a charm....
	Although I cannot run it in Super VGA I can run it full screen with
everything else turned on.
