KB184447 talks about this, and I’ve found this works as an optimal setting for my system.ini: Instead, just limit the amount of memory that Windows 95 will initialize. I had no luck there, but with more searching I found an easier fix. A lot of people talk about tuning the vcache as it’ll initialize far too big, and not leave enough memory for Windows 95 to actually operate. Which after a little bit of searching, comes down to the fact that I have 1GB of ram in my P4. Quit one or more memory-resident programs or remove unnecessary utilities from your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files, and restart your computer. Insufficient memory to initialize Windows. It works so well, that I loaded it on my 3 Ghz P4, however I got this disastrous message:

However, the LoneCrusader on MSFN has come up with a fixpack!Īnd it’s simple to apply, just start a normal Windows 95 install (I’m using Windows 95a, the first CD version) and then once it reboots, just boot off the provided floppy image, and it’ll slipstream in the fixed kernel, ndis handler and a bunch of other stuff.

Well it seems that the device drivers from the Dial-up networking update 1.4 actually address this issue, however it’s hard to install an update that gets bound into a ‘blob’ when you can’t boot. However beyond that point, the networking would break, and cause Windows 95 to fail with the following error: Then there was an “AMD” fix (that worked fine on intel cpu’s) that would raise the bar to 2.1 Ghz.

Any attempt to do so will yield the following error: This is great news to some of us! Unless you’ve been hiding in a cave, Windows 95 had issues running on CPU’s running over 300Mhz.
