Thanks for the quick answer but I have already given up using the 6200 card after I edited the file manually according to what I wrote LoneCrusader but it did nothing and the system still does not start

Probably in my case there is another problem with the 6200 card. After a few days of trial and errors I have enough

Unfortunately, I failed to use the PCIe ATI X300 or Nvidia 6200 in Win95 - I tried on 4 different computers.

The best configuration in which I managed to start Win95 and the system works stable - I use for MIDI production/editing in MAGIX music studio 3.0 deLuxe:

• Asus B85M-E Haswell 4 Gen CPU - need FIX95CPU by LoneCrusader
• 2 GB RAM + PATCHMEM.EXE by Loew (alternative 8 GB RAM but need also HIMEMX.EXE /max=2G)
• Intel iGPU + VBEMP 9x driver
• Sound Blaster Live! PCI
• Realtek 1Gb 8168 on NDIS2 DOS driver

Well, Win95 does lack API and features compared to 98(SE) or ME so it's understandable. Besides, in case of [very] new motherboards or add-on cards that need further patches it is possible that some code pieces may interfere with each-other. Most everything in this area of matching old OS versions with new hardware has always been more or less experimental.

Personally I've never been happy with Win95 even back in its time, upgrading from Win3.1. Only 98SE - with further unofficial upgrades as time went by - could satisfy me to a substantial degree. But it's all about the software running on top of the OS. I'm not familiar with your MIDI application, or MIDI generally - the most I came close to it was a virtual keyboard emulator written [also] in AHK by someone else, which I modded a little (not in the DropBox pack, and it's Unicode only).

Hope you find some good working configuration eventually.

Link is dead, does anyone have a copy of the patch? Thanks

See here

All you need is the files in the exe folder. If using Win95 you may try the newer test ini (see previous discussion above in this regard).
