re-install N2 and then WAIT the hours and hours it is supposed to take

setup sound and off we go...

I installed N2 on a win95 machine & was racing 10 minutes after I
started the install.  No problems at all, sound, video, or anything
else.  It all worked right out of the box.

Zeos P90, 32 meg ram, Soundblaster 16 asp, Diamond Stealth 64.
The entire machine's 2 years old.
