reflector

[Amanda Lee]

Well, unfortuneately can't dump windblows me entirely.  I've always used a
mixed bag of windblows and Unix/Linux but I have a lot to learn about the
system side of things and am constrained by the time for now to accomplish
this.

I did exactly as you describe and unpacked the speakfre.exe into a
sub-directory by that name and it does not like the dsound.dll or .vxd on
this system which are newer.  So I copied the same files from my win95 box
and it works with the older version but can't seem to hear anything.  I'm
pretty certain that i got to the reflector but nothing came through the
sound card.
