Windows Forum / Windows 95 / January 2004Win95 write protect error problem
Have tried every fix on the knowledge base with not luck. Think I have narrowed it down to a bad entry in the Sytem.ini or win.ini files but ain't near smart enough to figure out what to look for. Anyone out there any help? I am running a AMD processor (1.4gb) with a new board and HP Pavillion drives. It is a retail copy of WIN95 verion 4.00.950 and the ntkern.vxd file is completely missing. I have had no luck finding a copy of it as my newer machine dosen't have the file at all. Can someone email the driver? MJ, Not sure if this will help but I recall there was an update required for Win95 machines using AMD processors over 150 MHz. That patch needs to be installed at least for performance not sure about your specific problem. You could check the MSKB or at your motherboard manuf site.

Can someone email the driver? As Fred mentioned, an update was issued for these problems.....however, the update is only for Windows 95B and C, not for the original version of Win95, or for Win95A. You say your version is 4.00.950, which is the original version. You must have 4.00.950B or 4.00.950C to use the patches.

Can someone email the driver? I'm also running 4.00.950, and there's no NTKERN.VXD here (and it's not listed in the .CABs, either). Are you sure you need it?

It is a retail ...means not SR2... >>copy of WIN95 verion 4.00.950 ...and that;s definately not SR2... >>and the ntkern.vxd file is completely missing. ...so no surprise; NTKERN.VXD is added by the "USB Suppliment" (needed to support USB *and* AGP) which only works on Win95 SR2. A newer NTKERN.VXD is integrated into Win98, Win98SE and WinME. If that's an old AMD K6 with 1.4G HD (you did say "1.4GB"?) then you may have a problem if CPU > 300MHz. If that's a new AMD 1.4GHz system, then you will deffo have a problem... the only way you'd likely to be able to run original Win95 would be within a virtual PC, hosted by XP or whatever. >--------------- ----- ---- --- -- - - - Dreams are stack dumps of the soul >--------------- ----- ---- --- -- - - - Try slowing the processor to a lower speed. If this doesn't help or can't be done, download http://download.microsoft.com/download/win95upg/patch/1.2/w95/en-us/amdk6upd.exe Open the file with Winzip and extract "esdi_506.pdr" and "scsiport.pdr" to a floppy. Start the problem computer, insert the floppy and type the following two lines. Then type "win" to start Windows. copy /y a:\esdi_506.pdr c:\windows\system\iosubsys copy /y a:\scsiport.pdr c:\windows\system\iosubsys Ben > Have tried every fix on the knowledge base with not luck. > Think I have narrowed it down to a bad entry in the [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > have had no luck finding a copy of it as my newer machine > dosen't have the file at all.
