Does HWDIREDT support Windows 95 and NT 4.0?

No.  Windows 95 and NT 4.0 are not officially supported because they are fairly old operating system.  (That means we never tested HWDIRECT on a Windows 95 and NT 4.0 system.)  However, please let us know if you would like to have support for these two OSes.
