Windows 95 Repair

Windows 95? I'm jealous. :P

Besides my baby (yes, I call it that), I have a triple-boot WinDoze box and a Jag-u-war (sic) box in the closet.

Along with an Atari ST and an Apple ][. :P B)

Thanks everyone for all your replys. Yep, this thing is old and I will probably invest in a new one before too long. Still, till then I'd like to get this one running as best as it can. I had thought about partitioning the drive, that might be the easiest way to go about it. Any tips or anything I should now about reformating a partitioned drive? Thanks again everyone.

Cold north how much memory do you have ? Time to upgrade to a new computer :)

Have you tryed spoybot? http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=download




Mentions updating winsock for win95 install

I've used adaware, perhaps I'll give spoybot a try. Since the surgery last year when they put the plate in my skull the computer has slightly more memory than I do, which ain't much(would be funny if not true).

LOL, when I saw that at first I thought it said 'boyspot'... some sort of utility for paedo's. :D

Here's the hash for Partition Magic 8. It'll set up the partition for you.

File:Partition Magic 8.0.exe
Length:52375552 Bytes, 51148KB

As for a new PC, try Dell. They got some hot deals. I'm looking at a refurb for the wifey. It'll keep her off mine......to hell with fool-proofing, I need wife-proofing!!!! :lol:

All in all, I've found that 95 is more stable than 98. They're the same, 98 just has more bells and whistles (like USB support :D ). Just PLEASE don't get M.E.! It's M$'s retarded child......trust me on this!

Dell? Don't even think about it! Honest, dood, they're the pits - if you wanna upgrade it you've often got next to no chance.

Last week I foolishly agreed to transfer a friend's components to a new tower case before I found out he had a Dell. The guy got here around 8PM Friday and left about 2:30 Saturday morning after butchering his ole system and his new case just to get tha crap in there.

As for WinME, I found it more reliable than any version before it.

Dell is the best in my opinion (right next to AlienWare). I ran off of WindowsME for 3 and a half years, and I'd have to say, it's not all that bad.

I find it reprehensible that you mention Dell and Alienware in the same sentence. Sure, Dell sucks but it is OK if you're poor, a grandparent, an idiot, or a teeniebopper. But Alienware... now that's hardcore. Like Voodoo, Falcon Northwest, Monarch, etc.

And you people are kidding about ME, right?

I think you been hangin out with the dell dude to long..................what are you smokin? http://filesharingtalk.com/style_images/1/icon8.gif

Thanks for the partition software address longboneslinger, I might give that a try. My experiences with winME have not been real good. A couple of years ago my wife decided to get a computer and bought an HP with ME. The thing has been a pain. My biggest complaint is that it will not connect to the net faster than 28K, and yes it has a 57K modem.
