I have been looking for a Windows 95 CD ROM Image for the last couple of days. The only thing I can find is a boot disk. Do any of you know where I can find one? I want to create a VMWare image of Windows 95 so I can play some old games on my new computer.
Appreciate any help you can provide.
Wow you are opening up a can of worms there. It should be fun seeing you try and get the drivers for this pile of crap. Instead of wasting your precious time on this planet, Go and do a search for the java based games you are looking for, I've seen sites around that do every old game known to man on there website.

Windows 95 C
Windows 95 B
Windows 95 B Floppy Edition
Windows 95 A
Windows 95 Original
Windows 95 Floppy Edition
Windows 95 Upgrade
Windows 95 Upgrade Floppy Edition
There's one on TPB, and it's well-seeded.Quote:

Didn't say I could get it working again, haha. My new Dell Inspiron Desktop won't even install it properly. Durn.Quote:

And the 95 disk will be there with one of them I'd bet along with games and other stuff. just remember 95 has some limitations, no sata, early usb and the hard drive has to be what? 32gig max? maybe less (was it 98 that was 32gig?) although you can partition it into smaller parts. I've got a few around that would probably like 95 on them.
I have one with a really old version of Debian Linux on it that originally came with Windows 95. It's just REALLY old and extremely slow. I also have a dead one at work that I think would take 95, but I'm not entirely sure. Was just hoping I could get a VM to work so I wouldn't have to fool with multiple machines. It gets hot enough in here with just one PC in my bedroom and 2 (laptop and media) in the living room.Quote:

Does your version of vmware not support windows 95 anymore? Maybe you need to use an older version?
