[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 1017388, member: 325666"] Yes ..I went back to work ... This time to try and install Win95 using this faster more 'modern' motherboard .. As expected ...the installation failed at the last hurdle ... AMD processor too fast etc ..etc ..etc.. Windows protection error .. MS never bothered to provide a fix .. No need for it .. OS redundant ...why bother ...who the hell would be stoopid enough to want it fixed... Enter an enthusiastic amateur ...who did what MS either would not or could not .. [URL="http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/141402-windows-95-21ghz-cpu-limit-broken/"]Windows 95 2.1GHz CPU Limit BROKEN![/URL] Made a bootable floppy with his fix on it .. popped it into the drive and rebooted the dead OS .. The floppy intercepted the boot ..and wrote a few files to the win95 installation .. rebooted .. crossed fingers .. et voila .. we're in .. :D This bootable floppy is going in my installation toolkit .. The guy is a fekkin genius .. Now I will get some much needed sleep.. bfn VS [/QUOTE]
