Windows Forum / Windows 95 / June 2004Updates for Windows 95
Reformatted and reinstalled Win95b. How do I determine which upgrades I need to install and in what order? Also have IE5.5 SP2 - Same question. The last time I did this Win95 was still supported and it was fairly easy to let Windows Update tell me what I needed. > Reformatted and reinstalled Win95b.

I just did that last week, as I'm experimenting with various old motherboards, hard drives, video cards and whatnot, to see which work better together. I've downloaded all the update files, and narrowed the list to a group that included the latest version of all DLL, EXE, INF, etc. files found in the updates. If I've missed any, I'm sure someone will pipe up. I have all the W95 Cabs, updates and IE files on a spare hard drive, so I just install from there to the "new" C: drive. Here's the full procedure I used, along with the notes I made at the time to remind me what to do next, and what just happened.... ------------------------------------------------ Connect OS drive as slave Boot with floppy FDISK drive (/w FAT32?) >Restart (floppy in) FORMAT hard drive Create C:\Windows\Options\Cabs Copy all .cab files from slave to Cabs folder Change to C:\Windows\Options\Cabs Run SETUP.EXE (have Product Key ready) >Restarts Does lots of stuff >Restarts ---------------------------------------------- Go to W95 Updates folder on slave 168115us5.exe "Legacy Credential Caching" msdun13.exe Dial-Up Networking 1.3 (install DUN 1.4 instead?) >Restarts -Change to "Windows logon" in Network to kill password prompt 238453US5.exe Spoofed Route Pointer >Restarts 245729us5.exe Universal Naming Convention >Restarts 249973USA5.exe Malformed RTF Control Word >Restarts 256015usa5.exe DOS Device in Path Name >Restarts 259728usa5.exe >Restarts 273991usa5.exe >Restarts telnet95.exe Malformed Telnet Argument patch >Restarts ---------------------------------------------- Go to IE5.5 folder on slave ie5setup.exe >Restarts 323759 >Restarts 324929 >Restarts 328389 328970 (says SP2 needed?!?!?) 330994 810847 >Restarts Install LAN drivers Modify Network settings and protocols >Restarts Power off & plug in LAN cable >Power on Set sharing options dun14-95.exe Dial-Up Networking 1.4 (or earlier?) >Restarts >Restarts >Restarts w95ws2setup.exe Windows Socket 2 Update >Manual restart y2kvdhcp.exe DUN 1.3/Winsock2 Year 2000 Update (says DUN 1.4 is newer) ---------------------------------------------- Install other programs, games, sound drivers, modem, video drivers, etc. ---------------------------------------------- >-----Original Message----- > [quoted text clipped - 108 lines] >---------------------------------------------- >. Thanks. That's pretty much the kind of thing I was looking for. I'm on my 3rd (4th?) reformat and still don't have this thing working as well as it once did. I know I'm missing something but not sure what. I'll verify I have all the listed upgrades and give it another try. |
