Windows Forum / Windows 95 / January 2004Win95c (OSR2.5) and Pentium4 2.4gHZ?
I known this may sound C-R-A-Z-Y but I'd like to get Win95c running on the new PC. Found how to get Win98se running (runs GREAT) but it took a little work. Regarding Win95, I cannot get to the GUI screen upon install. An error message pops up a\saying it cannot initialize, out of memory (which it CANNOT be because there is 1gHz mem ... runs Win98se fine!). Anybody know the trick to get it running on a P4 2.4gHz? need a new ESDI_506.PDR? (to resolve timing issues)?? Open to suggestions! Thnx, Vic Follow the instructions here to download and install the necessary patch for P4 systems: Errors May Occur When Installing Windows 95 on PCs with Pentium III or Pentium 4 Processor: http://www.compaq.com/support/techpubs/customer_advisories/DB010327_CW01_2.html and for the memory error: "Out of Memory" Error Messages with Large Amounts of RAM Installed: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=kb;en-us;253912 However, that article refers to Win98...in Win95, you should probably set the vcache setting significantly smaller. You may want to try a MaxFileCache setting in Win95 of one/fourth the installed RAM, and then possibly work your way downward somewhat if you still have memory errors or an over-large swap files being built.

I'm hanging onto this CD like GOLD! Here's a couple of thoughts of where you might find one. Of course there's eBay; I've bought Windows CD's from there. Then there are computer 'fests' (shows) where people bring all there wares to sell. It's amazing what may turn up there! Good luck!
