WINDOWS 95 - Notes on Installing

                     From Alex van Kaam

Get the CD-ROM version, it has some extra stuff which is not on
the floppy version.

I installed it 3 times on my system, 2 times over my old Windows
3.11 and 1 time on a clean Windows 3.11.

The first 2 times Windows 95 was very unstable, but once I
installed it over a cleanly installed Windows 3.11 (so no PD stuff
or any other utilities) it has not crashed (3 months now)

Make sure you remove your BIOS bootsector protection, Windows 95
will write to your bootsector and if you have the BIOS protection
on, the BIOS will freeze the system because it thinks it has found
a virus.


Make sure you remove the HIGHSCAN part from the EMM386 line, this
part will interfere when Windows 95 is checking your hardware.

Make sure you have turned off your virus killer, mine made the
install program crash.

Make sure you get a new virus killer, your old virus killer is 16
bit and in the best case will not detect all viruses and in the
worst case it may damage some files.

Windows 95 comes with a lot of drivers but if your specific
hardware device is not supported try getting new drivers from the
company where you got the device from or try MSN or the Internet.
