Back in DOS and Win 3.x era, anything different from plain Tseng Labs or other common graphics and SoundBlaster for sound was really a gamble, even when it wasn't bugged. Still with Win95, thanks to 16bit bits and pieces and MS dropping any serious support and improvement short after W98 release (only during XP Home late years MS eventually extended the lifecycle also for home and not professional versions) I had incompatibilities and conflicts popping up out from nowhere after driver updates, SW installs or updates, etc, I even eventually had to do an intermediate step through Win ME as W98 wasn't available anymore, W95 drivers weren't released anymore for some new HW I wanted and Win 2000 drivers weren't there yet, they started coming for some of my first major upgrade's HW one year too late. Win 2000 eventually became the best MS OS I ever had, but in the meantime I was forced to use Win ME crap. Anyway, Win ME became my vaccine for MS marketing, as time went by I even forgave ATI for its bad support for my first graphics card and I restarted buying its products, but I never forgave MS for Win ME and whatever they say I initially don't believe them anymore until it's proven with scientific methods
