Now it's been so long, that I don't remember how or where I got those sounds, or if they came with Window 3.11 for Workgroups. But I definitely like Window 95 OSR-2 better, other than I can't find certain sounds anymore. The Windows 95 upgrade CD disk didn't have them, and Gateway's System disk with Windows 3.11 for workgroups is in a strange layout, unlike the regular MS CD. I looked for wav files in there, but nothing that was it. I don't even know how to describe the sound. It was like lots glass tinkling in a musical way if that sounds familiar?
