Here's a nice site. Scroll down to what version of 95 you have.

EDIT: I would update your system if you plan to web search. It wont hurt, and will help keep you clean.

No I did not mean upgrade to 98 (unless you want to), but there are two section for windows 95 osr1, and osr2. The Os you want is you choice.

I found something of interest for you and I. While searching for webbrowsers that I could use for my NT4 system on working on I found this page from a favorite source of mine http://toastytech.com/files/95browsing.html . It's a custom SeaMonkey 1.20 pre release that supports html 5 components. It also has a YouTube spoofer for flash. Happy hunting.

So can I update osr1 to osr2?? And I think those browsers could do almost everything, cause they have html 5.

Nice video, but does youtube work with my laptop. It has only 90 mHz Pentium...

I wouldn't expect much, but the only way to know is to test it so give it a shot tell us how it works.

It not youtube, but this might help. In this video someone plays a movie on the very laptop you have.

Yeah i have seen that video. I dont know how he could get that work. Thanks for answering.

Now when I have gotten it, it seems that it is LTE 5000 which means that it has only pentium 75mHz

And when I turned it off it didn't start anymore. No lights were flashing, no sound and nothing on the screen. I checked charger and it worked. So does that mean, that powerboard is damaged? I have nothing else what I could try so any info is appreciated.

PS. If I have to buy new powerboard links is great....

Best regards Retroer

Totally dead battery? Bad power supply connection? (Just thoughts...)
