What operating system?

I was unable to get it working on Win95, despite the box saying that it
was
compatible.  It worked when I upgraded to Win98.  However it still puts
the
graphics card into a mode incompatible with my monitor for a few seconds
on startup, and is probably slowly killing it.

Well worth it, though.
