Hi anyone
I need your help. I have Windows for Workgroups 3.11 installed on my less than 2-yr-old PC. But I can't get the sound or higher resolution because my drivers can only support windows 95 or above. Is there be any suitable drivers where I can download them?

Here's my Mainboard:
MS-6378L, bundled with
-VIA KLE133 Chipset
-S3 Trident Blade3D VGA
-AC'97 Audio & Lan

Under my Device Manager tab:
Adapter - VIA Tech VT8361/VT8601 Graphics Controller
Audio Device - VIA PCI Audio Controller

AMD Duron Processor
256 MB RAM
HD 20 GB

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
jmcg

Check the BIOS and see if it has 'SoundBlaster Compatibility Mode'?

Thanks Mick

I think it does. It has Bios v6.00PG with it and has the following list of settings:

Onboard Legacy Audio: Enable
Sound Blaster : Disabled
SB I/O Base Address : 220H
SB IRQ Select : IRQ5
SB DMA Select : DMA1
MPU-401 : Disabled
MPU-401 I/O Address : 330-333H
Game Port (200-207H): Enabled

What should I do next?

Well still no luck. Enabling the sound blaster I don't think is the main cause because it can't work without a set of suitable drivers. I did a search on the VIAarena site but find nothing is mentioned about this dead OS.
