Windows Forum / Windows 95 / January 2004Update to Win95b
I won´t to Update my Windows 95 (Ver.4.00.950a) To Win 95b Where is the File to Update it! I won?t to Update my Windows 95 (Ver.4.00.950a) To Win 95b Where is the File to Update it! Win95B is *not* an update... however you might be able to find it on ebay for a pretty low price. If you are doing this for USB support...don't bother... it is essentially non-existant...You should use win98se My apologies for butting in, but philo's reply prompted a question.... Philo, my Device Manager shows a "?" next to Universal Serial Bus. Apparently, the PC cannot find the correct USB driver. I'm assuming that this is the driver that would make my USB ports work. But you're suggesting that USB on Win95 is "non-existent" -- and you're not the first one I've heard this from. Should I forget about hunting for the driver(s)? I don't need the USB port at this time, anyway. Thanks.

That's correct... believe me...I tried everything I could to get USB working with win95 and eventually upgraded to win98se > my advice would be too look for the upgrade CD to go too win98se (ebay?) Yes, if you ever do need USB you should be able to find win98se on eaby... maybe $50 or so Thanks, all. You've answered my question. I'll just leave the 95 machine as the able backup it's been and move on to more important things. BTW, I do have 95B -- came preinstalled on the PC.

Though I'm sure it is device-dependent, I have no problem with my VIA chipset and their 4-in-1 drivers (seems best to update this after installing the usb files). Shane > Thanks, all.

I've tried most of them, and they work to varying degrees. I won?t to Update my Windows 95 (Ver.4.00.950a) To Win 95b Where is the File to Update it! |
