I'm trying to run W95 on a P4. I already edited system.ini to fix the "insufficient memory to initialize windows". But now I get a Windows protection error on IOS. Can anyone help me? Thanks > I'm trying to run W95 on a P4. I already edited system.ini > to fix the "insufficient memory to initialize windows". > But now I get a Windows protection error on IOS. > Can anyone help me? This issue can be caused by a corrupted .cab file that has been copied to the hard disk. This corruption can be caused by a virus or by failing hardware, but is most likely to be caused by a scratched, dirty, or damaged CD-ROM.

I did not well understand... If it's not dirt (I can't check at the moment), what should I do to fix it? Thanks again >-----Original Message----- >> I'm trying to run W95 on a P4.

If Windows is working fine, ignore it. If not, then now is the time to catch it. I'd recommend copying the Win 95 CD to the hard drive. In the case of border-line readability, this allows Windows to use little retry tricks to get the best copy of the files. It is somewhat more likely, in a slightly damaged Cd, that an outright copy will come up "clean" than that an execution (install) off the CD will come up clean -- so you can then redo the install (if that's what you choose) by booting to the hard drive in DOS (or with a floppy if you prefer) and running SETUP off the hard drive.
