Hello BenoitRen, welcome to the thread. I had been waiting for one of our resident Windows 95 users to get involved. While I use 98SE now, I moved up from 95 unwillingly a few years back so I am still very fond of it, and I enjoy working with it. Also, as you were the OP of the thread I referenced in my original post, I had hoped that you might have archived some of the updates that Petr listed.

I think he is trying to slipstream the driver into an install CD, not install it on a system that is already set up. In which case I think all one needs to do is simply place it in the \WIN98 folder... I know this works for system file updates, never tried it for drivers but I do remember reading about it a long time ago.

Well, really it isn't far off topic.. I am collecting updates and tools to archive them, but I am also working on building myself a slipstreamed Windows 95C install with plans to do the same for 98SE later on. I'd also like to say thanks, and great find. You seem to have a knack for finding things, I remember the MSBATCH thread. Now for the details. Honestly, I'm in over my head here. Completely new to working on CAB files, and I'm having to learn as I go. So I don't have any results yet. It was brought to my attention that the Windows 95 CAB files used the QUANTUM compression, and while one can rebuild 95 CABs using MSZIP, the compression is less efficient. Not that it's a major issue, it just irked me that the proper tool for the job seemed? to have disappeared. Using the newer LZX compression crashes the Windows 95 SETUP.EXE.

AFAIK, the last Windows 98 compatible version of uTorrent, without KernelEx, is 1.8.5.17091. I read that somewhere here, but I can't remember where.

Thanks for the links and the name of the file I needed to be looking for I have downloaded CABDEVKT.EXE and the companion CABRSCKT.EXE and looked through their documentation. It appears that the QUANTUM compression type is still not supported by these older tools. From the documentation: There are several tools that can compress using MSZIP, but nothing seems to be able to duplicate the QUANTUM compression used for Windows 95 CAB's.

I had never heard of an "AGI" slot before. Some Googling resulted in these pages: AGI slot? What is AGI? ASRock A.G.I.8X From what I read there, it seems that AGI began as some kind of proprietary slot to "tack on" a graphics card slot to motherboards with integrated graphics. The only advice I can give is to be absolutely certain you have disabled everything related to the integrated graphics chip in the BIOS... My guess is that while Windows 2K/XP may not "see" any difference between AGP and AGI, DOS/WIN9X does "see" a difference. Does the motherboard have Windows 98 drivers for all of its components?

I don't have CorelDraw and I don't use KernelEx, but I checked my system to see what versions of those files I have. All of mine are either the same or older than the ones you are using. My system has very few modifications from a vanilla 98SE install, as far as updates go I have IE6, WMP7, DX9c, NUSB3.3, and RLoew's RAM Limitation Patch 5.1 installed. comdlg32.dll --- same as yours but unmodified expsrv.dll -------- 6.0.8540 mfc42.dll -------- 6.00.8665.0 msjet35.dll ----- same msjint35.dll ---- same msjter35.dll ---- same msvcrt.dll ------- 6.10.8924.0 ole32.dll -------- 4.71.2900 oleaut32.dll ---- 2.40.4518 olepro32.dll ---- 5.0.4518 rpcrt4.dll -------- 4.71.2900 shdocvw.dll ---- 6.00.2800.1203 shell32.dll ------ 4.72.3612.1700 shlwapi.dll ----- 6.00.2800.1226 shw32.dll ------ 4.01 user32.dll ------ 4.10.2231 wininet.dll ------ 6.00.2800.1106 On my system, SHW32.DLL was installed by Age of Empires II, the only copy I have is in the game folder.

List has been Updated. I must admit I wasn't expecting such quick responses for a Windows 95 issue, but I'm pleasantly surprised. I am in the process of organizing the files that I have. I spent a couple of hours at MDGx's archiving all of the updates he has listed, I found a few dead links that I have informed him of. I believe bristols has the files in those links, if not I will list them here. I have yet to cover all of the pages you all provided, still working on it. I do know of one specific HotFix that I have been unable to locate, so I will go ahead and list it. I used MDGx's HotFix request form, and only the Japanese version seems to be available from Microsoft. I have been unable to locate the English version. Q282901 - Drive Letters Are Not Assigned for SCSI Devices This particular fix is important because it contains the last known versions of IOS.VXD (4.00.1115) and CONFIGMG.VXD (4.00.1114) for Windows 95. Thanks for the help guys

Thanks for the links, I'll be fighting with archive.org trying to see all of those sites and download anything useful. Many of the updates are no doubt included in the Unofficial Service Pack, and if all else fails I can extract some files that I cannot find elsewhere from it. I am not a fan of all-in-one service packs, they are appropriate in some cases but not in all. Especially if they contain "unofficial" updates, everyone has their own taste and may not want certain things. Meaning no disrespect whatsoever to erpdude8, I respect his knowledge and his work that he has contributed to the community, but I tried installing the Service Pack on one of my test machines during the development of FIX95CPU, and it rendered the system unbootable. I'm working on a list to be added to the first post, right now listing the updates that I have archived, and then I will list specific ones that I am lacking.

Hello everyone, as the title says I'm looking for old Windows 95 updates and tools. Anything and everything, as they are all but disappeared from the Internet. I know MDGx has several on his website, and I have archived most of these, but I know there are several others out there. In the second post of This Thread, Petr made a list of many updated 95 files, and said that he had collected the updates. I have attempted to contact him, but have not received a response. If anyone else has any of these files archived, I'd appreciate your help. Also, if anyone happens to have a copy of the early Cabinet Resource Kit that includes DIAMOND.EXE and the related documentation, that would be very helpful as well. (Windows 95 CAB's are compressed with QUANTUM compression, and Windows 95 Setup only understands QUANTUM or MSZIP, not the LZX format used by 98/ME) *DIAMOND.EXE FOUND! Thanks to submix8c. Thanks in advance! EDIT - Adding lists of updates. Will be updated/modified/rearranged as necessary. ***List Updated 1-20-2011 6:00PM EST*** Let's concentrate on updates for OSR 2.0 - OSR 2.5 for starters. Some updates include files for multiple Windows 95 versions however, so let's not lose any of those in the process. These updates I already have archived. If you have or are aware of multiple or different versions of any of these, or one of these updates with a different name, it may be worthy of further investigation.

Aha! Thanks dencorso

Sorry, I can't. While it's OK to distribute patched files, one still cannot distribute the whole OS. The modifications aren't difficult to do, don't be afraid to try for yourself. If you have any problems, post here for help.

Same here I have always used WMP 7 or 7.1, even on 98SE. I don't like the way WMP9 looks, to much XP-Lego-Look for my taste. I may install 6.4 in a VM and play with it if I get a chance. For the record - I seem to remember a while back seeing an unofficial method for installing WMP9 on 98FE and possibly 95, but I can no longer find the relevant pages. Anyone else remember this?

***UPDATE 06-10-2013*** Added instructions for 95 RTM (95\95A). I have finally worked out a method of "slipstreaming" this update into a Windows 95 installation. Details below. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INSTRUCTIONS FOR SLIPSTREAMING FIX95CPU WINDOWS 95 PROCESSOR UPDATE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BE SURE TO FOLLOW THE SLIPSTREAM METHOD FOR YOUR VERSION OF WINDOWS 95! INSTRUCTIONS ARE DIFFERENT FOR 95 RTM (95\95A) AND FOR OSR 2.0\2.1\2.5 (95B\95C)! It is recommended that you familiarize yourself with all of the issues surrounding this update by fully reading the discussion thread and/or the README.TXT contained in FIX95CPU. This process will eliminate the need to create separate bootable floppy disks or CD's for installing FIX95CPU, and will not require the interruption of Windows 95 Setup. This process requires the addition of files to your Windows 95 Source folder (WIN95 folder on the Windows 95 CD-ROM). You can modify this folder by copying it to your hard drive for installation and performing these steps, or you can modify it and use an .ISO editing program to inject the modified folder back into an .ISO image of your Windows 95 CD if you wish to have a slipstreamed install CD. 95 RTM: IN YOUR WINDOWS 95 INSTALLATION SOURCE DIRECTORY (WIN95 FOLDER FROM CD-ROM) 1. EXTRACT SETUPC.INF FROM PRECOPY2.CAB 2. OPEN SETUPC.INF AND DO THE FOLLOWING: A. "COMMENT OUT" (PLACE SEMICOLON BEFORE) THE FOLLOWING LINE: wininit.ini, CombineVxDs,,"%22%\vfbackup.vxd=%11%\vmm32.vxd" IT SHOULD LOOK LIKE THIS NOW: ; wininit.ini, CombineVxDs,,"%22%\vfbackup.vxd=%11%\vmm32.vxd" B. SAVE SETUPC.INF IN THE INSTALLATION SOURCE DIRECTORY. SETUP WILL NOW USE IT INSTEAD OF THE ONE INSIDE PRECOPY2.CAB 3. PLACE ALL 10 UPDATED SYSTEM FILES CONTAINED IN THE FOLDERS W95BOTH AND W95RTM ON THE FIX95CPU FLOPPY INTO YOUR WINDOWS 95 INSTALLATION SOURCE FOLDER, AND SETUP WILL USE THEM INSTEAD OF THEIR OLD EQUIVALENTS INSIDE THE .CAB'S. CDFS.VXD DISKTSD.VXD ESDI_506.PDR HSFLOP.PDR SCSIPORT.PDR INT13.VXD IOS.VXD VFBACKUP.VXD NDIS.VXD WININIT.EXE 95 OSR2: IN YOUR WINDOWS 95 INSTALLATION SOURCE DIRECTORY (WIN95 FOLDER FROM CD-ROM) 1. EXTRACT SETUPC.INF FROM PRECOPY2.CAB 2. OPEN SETUPC.INF AND DO THE FOLLOWING: A. "COMMENT OUT" (PLACE SEMICOLON BEFORE) THE FOLLOWING LINE: wininit.ini, CombineVxDs,,"%22%\vfbackup.vxd=%11%\vmm32.vxd" IT SHOULD LOOK LIKE THIS NOW: ; wininit.ini, CombineVxDs,,"%22%\vfbackup.vxd=%11%\vmm32.vxd" B. FIND THE SECTION LABELED: [VxD.Files] ;Copy these to the \system\vmm32 dir to be bound into VMM32.VxD: C. IN THAT SECTION, UNDER THE LINE: vfbackup.vxd,,,1 INSERT THE FOLLOWING LINE: ntkern.vxd,,,1 SHOULD LOOK LIKE THIS NOW: vfbackup.vxd,,,1 ntkern.vxd,,,1 vcomm.vxd,,,1 D. SAVE SETUPC.INF IN THE INSTALLATION SOURCE DIRECTORY. SETUP WILL NOW USE IT INSTEAD OF THE ONE INSIDE PRECOPY2.CAB 3. PLACE ALL 10 UPDATED SYSTEM FILES CONTAINED IN THE FOLDERS W95BOTH AND W95OSR2 ON THE FIX95CPU FLOPPY INTO YOUR WINDOWS 95 INSTALLATION SOURCE FOLDER, AND SETUP WILL USE THEM INSTEAD OF THEIR OLD EQUIVALENTS INSIDE THE .CAB'S. CDFS.VXD DISKTSD.VXD ESDI_506.PDR HSFLOP.PDR SCSIPORT.PDR INT13.VXD IOS.VXD NTKERN.VXD VFBACKUP.VXD NDIS.VXD Now you may simply install Windows 95 normally from this folder or from your modified installation CD by running SETUP.EXE, and no further work is required.

It's possible to install WMP 7.1 using a special script and a couple of files from the 7.0 package. Also the Windows Media 9 Codec Package for WMP 7 will install with only one error, an "Error registering OCX..." I don't remember the rest of it, Ill have to check again. But after that error it says it's installed successfully.

Don't know about iTunes and KernelEx, you will have to experiment with that. But I do know that the driver works 100%, the choice of software you use to manage it is up to you.

I don't know about iTunes on 98, all I know is that I wouldn't use iTunes for anything on any OS But you can use your iPod with 98 with This Driver and RealPlayer 10.5, the last version for Win9x. I used this setup before to get my girlfriend's iPod working for her in 98.

There are several users here who run NVidia graphics cards, I'd estimate that they outnumber the ATI users. My advice would be to start a thread in the main forum specific to NVidia drivers and Windows 95. There are also a few 95 users still running around and I'm not sure what video cards they use, but they may have some insight. For some reason I want to think that I tried to find Windows 95 NVidia drivers once before, I had a GeForce FX 5500 OC that toasted itself. I will dig around and see if I have any other files or notes on the subject lurking around here. EDIT: What other updates have you installed? Most importantly, have you updated to DirectX 8.0a? I know the ATI drivers I use in 95 require DX8 minimum.

Congratulations! Now as for drivers, I don't know how much success you will have, but if you need it I'll help you all I can. I have several different versions of the Intel Chipset Driver Installation Utility archived, but I believe the last one that will install on 95 is version 3.40.1001 and it doesn't cover the 875 Chipset. It may still contain something useful, but I don't know. I use mostly ATI video cards, and have several older driver packages archived for them, but I don't have much for NVidia cards. I have the Win9X ForceWare 81.98 installer archived, but that's all unless I have an old NVidia drivers CD somewhere... Don't forget that you need to reinstall Windows 95 and install FIX95CPU per it's instructions. The method we used for the test does not produce a properly compressed VMM32.VXD or place the updated NTKERN.VXD file in the proper folder, which can lead to problems down the road with further updates, especially the Windows 95 USB Supplements. Also a proper VMM32.VXD is required for the use of RLoew's RAM Patch should you ever decide you want to run more than 512MB of RAM. Keep me posted on your driver experiments.

I believe you're right, Windows 95 or its standard drivers don't like something about your motherboard. The screen you made it to, "Getting ready to run Windows 95 for the first time..." is the screen that shows during the creation of VMM32.VXD, which will produce the "VMM32.TMP integrity check failed" error I mentioned. However, with all of the updated files in place, that doesn't matter for this test. Once you get into Safe Mode, try installing DUN14-95.EXE and see if it makes any difference. It contains more updated system files for networking functions. If that doesn't work, try removing all of the installed devices in the device manager and reboot... I'm running out of ideas, calling for help from anyone else concerning non-file-specific Windows Protection Errors... ? rloew in particular may have some insight, he's one of our resident experts and the one most familiar with FIX95CPU as he helped me develop it.

Hmm, looks like a nice motherboard B) I took a look at the Manual here. Although I imagine it will work much better for 98SE than 95, lol. I think the last Intel chipset with 95 drivers was the 845, but I'm not sure. I ran a Windows 95 test setup on a Soyo P4-I875P Dragon 2 v1.0 board with a 3.4GHz Extreme Edition CPU and 4GB of Kingston HyperX RAM during the update of RLoew's RAM patch, but I had no drivers for the board or hardware. I don't see any reason why Windows 95 should not install however, provided you disable or set everything you can to "Legacy" mode and re-enable things one at a time to see what is causing the problem. From what I saw in the Manual (p. 88), the RAID controller should be listed in the BIOS as "Onboard Promise Controller." I would disable the whole works, USB & 1394 included. Ok, as you said how you are booting to Setup is probably not related to the problem you are having, I was mainly curious as to whether your machine had a floppy drive, and whether you were able to try using the FIX95CPU floppy disk. I do all of my Windows 9X installs from the hard drive, so I was trying to see if it was somehow related to installing from the CD. You have tried running FIX95CPU on your system again after you get the protection errors, right? This is bizarre You're having virtually the exact same set of problems that occur without FIX95CPU, and that it was designed to correct. With AMD processors over 350MHz, Windows 95 installation would fail on the first reboot, and you can't get to safe mode (Windows Protection Error in IOS.VXD). AMDK6UPD fixed this, and it also worked on Pentium 4's up to 2GHz. Above that, the same circumstances repeat, just with a different error (Windows Protection Error in NDIS.VXD). Both of these keep Setup from entering its second phase, and FIX95CPU updates all of the necessary files for Setup to continue normally. If you install FIX95CPU immediately after the first reboot, without allowing the machine to return to Setup and crash on one of these errors, and then remove the FIX95CPU disk and reboot again, you should never even see a message about Normal or Safe Mode at all, it should just finish Setup as if nothing was wrong. It seems like the updates are not being installed properly. We can do a test run that should eliminate whether you are having a hardware issue or not. (NOTE: This method will not produce a properly compressed system file created during Setup, so if it works there is still more to do, but it will answer some questions.) Create newly formatted C:\ partition Copy all the contents of the \WIN95 folder on your Windows 95 CD to a folder on your new partition, example C:\WIN95CD Copy the 10 updated system files contained in FIX95CPU to the C:\WIN95CD folder. - (CDFS.VXD, DISKTSD.VXD, ESDI_506.PDR, HSFLOP.PDR, SCSIPORT.PDR, INT13.VXD, IOS.VXD, NTKERN.VXD, VFBACKUP.VXD, NDIS.VXD) Run SETUP.EXE from inside the C:\WIN95CD folder Using this method, Setup will use the updated files in the WIN95CD folder instead of searching for their old equivalents in the CAB files. Setup should run properly, and reboot properly without any errors except you may see something about "VMM32.TMP integrity check failed." You can ignore this for now, what we want to learn is whether or not this will get Windows 95 running without the protection errors. No problem

Yes, Safe Mode is inaccessible without the updates from the AMDK6UPD fix, even though Microsoft's directions for it say to use Safe Mode. That was one of the reasons I created my script. I have run a couple of tests and have not been able to reproduce the problem you're having I need some more details on your specific setup. Some of the details may or may not be having any effect on this issue, but we may learn something from them anyway. Hardware: You said you are running a Pentium 4 3.0GHz, do you know if it is a Northwood or a Prescott? (I have only used the patch on Northwood's and a Gallatin, I know Windows XP had some issues with Prescott CPU's, don't think it affects 95/98 but I don't know.) What other hardware is in your computer, sound cards, network cards, etc, including those integrated into the motherboard? - Have you tried installing Windows 95 with these other hardware items removed or disabled in the BIOS? Installation: From your response I assume you are installing Windows 95 from the CD? How are you performing the initial boot, have you created a bootable Windows 95 CD or are you using a floppy? - If using a floppy, have you tried creating a FIX95CPU floppy instead of the CDROM? Have you tried copying the install files to the hard drive and running Setup from there? Are you doing a "Custom" Setup or using "Typical", "Full", etc? Are you using a MSBATCH.INF script? Which Networking Protocols/Functions did you choose during install? Did the second phase of Setup complete properly after installing FIX95CPU and rebooting? - If so, you should have been prompted to keep the newer version of NDIS.VXD installed by the patch, did you? Have you tried reinstalling the patch after you get the Windows Protection Error? (Theoretically it should still work, as it is designed to be used before or after the second phase of Setup.) Thanks!

Welcome to MSFN, and thanks for your interest in my patch. Ok, lets start from the top. I assume from your title that you are running Windows 95 C OSR 2.5, correct? What exact order did you perform your installation in, did you install the patch immediately after the first reboot or did you allow the IOS or NDIS Windows Protection Errors to be displayed? @dencorso - If you think this should be merged with the main FIX95CPU thread, please do so.

Post in the SH95UPD thread, maybe the author or one of the others in the thread will see it and can help you.

Last official Firefox for 98 & ME was 2.0.0.20. (Can be made to work in Windows 95 as well.) There was also a later build of Firefox (Branded as Bon Echo) that was not an official release, 2.0.0.22pre, I think it was still being updated because of updates to Thunderbird 2 at the time. It seems most references to it have disappeared, and I haven't used it myself, but I have a copy of the .exe installer for it. I love Firefox, but that's my biggest gripe with it and Mozilla, virtually no support of anything that gets a year or so old, it's ridiculous. Think about it.. Firefox 2.0.0.20 was released barely 2 years ago and it's already "erased" from Mozilla's memory, and already websites are blocking it (MySpace) or complaining about it (YouTube).
