in my experience, builds of win95 above #480 work great on the thinkpad 755
(including MWave sound, telephony, modem, everything).

***NOTE***:  if your machine has 16 meg of RAM or less, your fine.  IF YOUR
MACHINE HAS MORE THAN 16 meg of RAM (I think you mentioned yours has
24meg?), then in order for the MWave audio stuff to work properly under
win95 (any build) you MUST be running the latest version of the MWave
stuff/drivers *AND* then you MUST install a special patch for >16meg RAM
folks.  (if you do not install the patch, some audio functions like MIDI are
inaudible even at max volume).  Both the latest drivers and the special
patch are available from the Thinkpad compuserve forum, or from the internet
at the following WWW URL: http://watson.mbb.sfu.ca/

again, these bugs do not show up if you have 16meg RAM or less.

enjoy,
Todd
