# OPENCP and Windows 9x

OPENCP will run happily in a DOS-Box of Windows 95,98 and ME. You can use the native drivers of OPENCP, but this is not recommended with windows. If you have a sound card supported by windows and installed a DirectX 5 or later you can use the windows drivers with OPENCP. This way OPENCP will work with every sound card supported by windows, which includes modern pci devices.

> Installation is totally simple:

1. copy the `vxdapc.vxd` driver and the `vocp.dll` library into your textttwindows\system directory
2. run the `cphost.exe` program before starting OPENCP

`cphost.exe` will place an icon in your icon tray to indicate proper operation. If you use OPENCP regularily you can start `cphost.exe` with your autostart group.1.1

If a yellow exclamation sign is added to the icon (in your icon tray), something failed. Please contact us for a bug report together with system information, the log from `cphost.exe` etc.

If you have problems please see our section about the vapc driver in the FAQ.1.2
