Windows Forum / Windows 95 / January 2004Help! Can I restore Windows95????
A friend of mine was "fixing" my comupter to make it compatible for work, and I think he deleted a lot of my stuff. I was working with Windows 95, and decided since he had screwed some stuff up that I would download the Windows 98 CD rom. This CD rom came with the computer and did not have the product ID code, so now I cannot install the Windows 98 CD. Any ideas on how I can restore Windows 95 or get hold of a Windows 98 Product Code? thanks Kelly >-----Original Message----- >A friend of mine was "fixing" my comupter to make it [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > >.Yes you can you have to do it from the safe mode when you 1st turn on your pc you must keep tapping on your space bar when its done you must type in at the bottom Scanreg/restroe then click or hit buttom enter when it comes up in safe mode there will be dates listed use your up and down key to pick a date that your pc ran good befor the date it whent wrong.or it might show the date it last ran good but make sure its not the date it whent bad. You mean when the computer is first turned on, just keep hitting the space bar and something will come up on the screen that will allow me to type Scanreg/restore? Sorry if I seem uneducated about this, but I don't know how to fix these types of problems at all and just want to make sure I do it right... please confirm thanks Kelly >-----Original Message----- > [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] >> >. >A friend of mine was "fixing" my comupter to make it >compatible for work, I am not sure this person is your friend. If key Windows 95 files are missing, you will need to reinstall Windows 95 from a CD-ROM. It is unclear to me whether you have the Win95 CD-ROM that is associated with this computer. If you do, the Product ID is stored in the copy of Windows that is installed on the machine. Can you start Windows 95 so that you can record this product ID? > and decided since >he had screwed some stuff up that I would download the >Windows 98 CD rom. The installation files for Windows 98 are not available for download. If you want to change to Win98 and this computer is capable of running Win98, you need to obtain a Win98 CD-ROM. Some people are still selling these. Search the Internet. One person has advised you to restore the Registry. Restoring the Registry will not replace missing files. It might just make the current situation even more difficult. Bill Starbuck (MVP) |
