Windows Forum / Windows 95 / April 2004Win95 to Win95a
First of probably many questions? Starting over on a P120 computer. I flashed (updated) the BIOS and then formatted using overlay software to access a newer larger hard drive. (8+gig - original was 1.2 or something). Have the Original Win95 cd and have installed windows and installed newer video drivers, updated drivers for different modem and faster CDrom drive. (These were all installed years ago but had to reformat anyway - it was a mess - so decided to flash the BIOS beforehand). Next Step ........ I want to first update to Win95a. (updates 1-10) Here I am confused. I found the SP1 setup.exe file on Microsoft site. However, is this the whole update? or just the setup and then updated from online? (That computer is NOT currently connected and I am trying to make a CD with ALL the updates in case I need to start over at some time). I see referrals to the CD and see that it could be ordered,(maybe not anymore?) however, is there someplace I can download it? I also see the place to download to individual disks - but this seems to be for administrators and is confusing how they are to be used. All the readme files say to use the CD for updating to an individual computer. TIA CKL Never mind the previous question...... Have no idea why they have the individual disks (14?) ..... Still would like the answer to that..... BUT, all I seemed to need was the "setup"...... computer is now at Windows95a so can continue with all the rest of the updates.

TIA CKL I have a cd disk that I purchaced second hand and I want to install it but I do not have the 20 diget code that setup asks me for. what do I put in the code box?

Sum had to be divisible by a certain number. Not sure what the thread was called - but try doing some back reading and you may find it before I do.....

Here is a copy of that thread: (just a couple of days ago and have seen it several times) From: "madmax" <maxpro4u@zyxneo.rr.com> >>Make one up! the method is that when you add up all the digits in the >>second field and divide by seven - if the remainder is zero you have a >>valid key >>The intelligence of Micro$not leaves not rocks unturned. As an eaxample 17177-oem-1616167-16167 The number after oem has to be divisible by seven after addingup all digits. 1+6+1+6+1+6+7 = 28 which is 4*7 !!
