I also have an ESS1868 sound card on a machine... I don't have the blue 
screen problem you reported... instead, an 16-bit sound doesn't play-- I 
get scratchy noise instead for the length of the sound. 8-bit sounds work 
fine.
On my laptop, with an ESS 688 card, the ESS drivers simply don't install-- 
even when using the settings that DO work w. Win95.
On the desktop machine, my ultimate solution is going to be to swap the 
1868 card for a real Sound Blaster 16.
