I am having a problem with ALL my games.  I do not really think it is
Win95, it could be a hardware conflict.  The problem I am having is
video/sound related.  When I start a game it comes up with really bad
colors (for example: space in TIE Fighter is bright green).  I can go
into the sound card setup and disable digital sound and the game and
music will play fine.  I can not get the digital fx to work with out
upsetting the video.  I am using a Sound Blaster 32 card with IRQ
setting 5, I tried to change it to 7 (which is free on my system) and
my games would still detect it at 5.  When I manually set it to 7 the
sound test would fail.  But, after I set it to 7 a Windows
Encyclodedia that would also have bad colors worked fine.  How can I
make my games detect the new IRQ setting?

I was having this problem before I went Win95,  but it is worse now.
Thanks in advance,
TROY BENGE
