Windows Forum / Windows 95 / February 2004PC Problem
I wonder if anyone can help with a small problem that is driving me mad! I am building a second PC (just for and old accounting software and word processing) with components left over after several upgrades. All these worked ok when last used but not necessarily with each other. This is based on an Elite K7S5A Motherboard, Duron 800MHz and 128MB PC100 Ram. It has a CD WR and a 4GB HDD with the usual Floppy. I have also tried 256MB PC133 Ram with the same problems. I have used Fdsik and formatted OK and scandisk tells me there are no errors on drives C or D. I am having extreme difficulties loading an operating system (have tried 95,98 or XP). During loading setup could not find some files on the Windows95 CD (msjtick.drv - vjoyd.vxd - msmpu 401.drv and msmpu 401.vxd ) I have managed to load 95 after a number of attempts but now I can only boot into Safe Mode for a few seconds then I keep getting a Blue screen with various error messages including "A fatal error has occurred :xxxxxxxin VXD VMM (01) +00003AF. The current application will be terminated" Can anyone help please please please?? TONY What version of Windows 95 are you trying to install? Those files exist in the CAB files on the CD in Win95B and C (OSR2x), but I can't say offhand if they are in the original version of Win95....they exist in the CABS on the Win98 CD also. The files are part of the audio driver setup....I believe that motherboard has integrated audio, does it not? Do you have a sound card installed, or are you using the integrated audio? If a sound card, have you disabled the integrated audio, in the BIOS setup? Try ignoring the audio device during setup...tell Windows you don't have one. hen install the audio drivers from within Windows after the installation is complete. You will first have to install any motherboard/chipset drivers from the motherboard CD. The audio drivers for integrated sound may also be on the mobo CD....AC97 drivers. Have you tried copying the Win95 or Win98 folder from the CD to the hard drive, and then running Windows setup from there, rather than from the CD?

Second, since this is a "zombie" box, you need to run a burn-in diaglostic to see if all the parts are happy together. I use CheckIt anmd QuickTechPro 2000. 3rd thing is that you have a bunch of components that W95 didn't have drivers for, and subsequently were never developed. 98 or 2000 mighjt be the way to go on this box.
