Windows Forum / Windows 95 / December 2003Windows protection error
I have installed Win95 (A) to a FAT 16 partition but on the first restart after setup, the OS comes back up and says "now starting Windows 95 for the first time", then the screen goes black and it says "windows protection error - you need to restart your computer". When I do, it comes back up in any mode but normal. So it runs in safe mode, but it doesn't see the CD-ROM drive and will not start again normally without that same error message. I have tried some stuff off the MS knowledge base, but it didn't work. I used step by step, I disabled the drivers through device manager, I enabled PnP in the BIOS. I even reformatted the HDD and reinstalled Win95, none of it has worked. Anyone else had this problem?

(I do have an AMD 2 Ghz processor) Any other ideas, anybody?

Maybe the docs @ Compaq say differently. But OTOH it was written for W95B era problems. Your last option is to slow the processor down to <350 Hz if it has M/board jumpers that will go that low, install & reset the speed. Spend ~$20 for W95B. Download http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/patch/1.2/w95/en-us/amdk6upd.exe Open the file with WinZip, extract "esdi_506.pdr" and "scsiport.pdr" to a floppy and copy them to the "Windows\System\Iosubsys" directory of the problem computer. Then remove the floppy and restart. Ben > I have tried to aply the AMD patch and it says I have the > wrong version of Windows for the patch and it will not [quoted text clipped - 40 lines] > > > >. Thanx, Ben, but I can't get into the link you sent. "Page cannot be found". What's the trick to that?

How do I 'unzip' it and extract the files you mention? Just opening it gives an error message, "This is not the right version of Windows" Thanx, Sean >-----Original Message----- >Download [quoted text clipped - 53 lines] >> > >. Download an evaluation version of WinZip or copy the "amdk6upd.exe" file to the "c:\" folder and run it with the "/c" switch. c:\amdk6upd.exe /c WinZip http://www.winzip.com/ddchomea.htm Ben > Ben, > [quoted text clipped - 77 lines] > >> > > >. Thanx, Ben, That did the trick. New problem, new post. Ripper >-----Original Message----- >Download an evaluation version of WinZip or copy the [quoted text clipped - 92 lines] >> > >. Hello again, I extracted the two files you mentioned and placed them in the IOSUBSYS folder and Windows 95 started beautifully. I then proceeded with a Windows 98 upgrade, installed some of the old drivers for the monitor, CD ROM, etc., and the machine worked well for days. Then, when I went to install the modem drivers, I restarted and guess what? "windows protection error. You need to restart your computer". I tried to run the patch; "this patch is not designed for your version of windows" (incidentally, this is the same error message I got when I tried to run the patch on the 95 system), I extracted the two files as before and placed them in the IOSUBSYS folder, to no avail. Any suggestions? Thanx, RIP >-----Original Message----- >Download [quoted text clipped - 53 lines] >> > >. First, extract fresh copies of "c:\windows\system\iosubsys\scsiport.pdr" and "c:\windows\system\iosubsys\esdi_506.pdr" from your Windows 98 CD. Windows 98 has its own versions of these files. Next, try to undo the modem installation. If the computer won't start in Safe mode, start it in DOS, type "scanreg /restore", press "Enter" and restore the previous registry.
