Dont you just hate it when someone has used a 3rd party util(as in not
MS made) to lock down Win95, and has then un-installed it leaving it
locked down, but changes must be made to the machine...
/rant

anyway, ended up not bothering with finding the util, as it was
*screaming* hardware clash... disabled the onboard sound, LAN, serial,
usb until it worked.

User(and dept) now happy... no need to price up the new
Hardware/software combo(~US$20k.)

There are still computers running Windows 95?! How do they use half of
the websites available?

By rendering the HTML (via the browser) that the server-side code produces.
What bits would 95 miss out on?

IE5.5 works on Windows 95 doesnt it?

either way, most seem to work ok on it.

Install a modern browser which runs on Win95.

For example...

http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/wiki/...2#requirements

| System Requirements
|
| • Windows 95, 98, 98SE, ME, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000,
| Windows XP and Windows 2003 Server.
| • 32 MB RAM minimum recommended.
| • 5 MB of free hard drive space for download. 11 MB of free
| hard disk space for full installation.


You don't have to use the browser bundled with the OS (and FWIW
the original release of Win95 did not include a browser at all).

it did? any idea on the name of the exe file, as I can't find it on the
win95 machine next to me.

I know that win95-OSR2 came with IE3(or was it 4?)

Nope - at that time IE 1 only came with the Win95 Plus Pack which cost
money. One of the later OEM releases bundled IE3 though. And IE 2 was
what came with NT 4.

Wow, I never knew that people still developed to target Windows 95! It
misses out on some OS features that Windows 98 has, but the DLLs
providing the functionality can normally be installed from Microsoft.
