Windows 95

individuals can purchase, and the OEM Service Release 2 (OSR2) that is found on
most computer system preloads. To find out which release you are running, select
Start → Settings → Control Panel, and then double-click the System icon. Look at
the version number under the text Microsoft Windows 95.
v If the number is 4.00.950a or 4.00.950, you are using the retail release of
Windows 95.
v If the number is 4.00.950 B, you are using the OSR2 release of Windows 95.
Make sure that you refer to the appropriate installation section for the version of
Windows 95 that you are using.
Before beginning installation, shut down the computer. Make sure that the operating
system is correctly shut down and then switch off the power and disconnect the
power cable from the power source.
Installing the driver when Windows 95 Retail is already installed
1. When you boot Windows 95, it will detect the new hardware and bring up a
dialog box to allow a choice of drivers. Select Driver from disk provided by
hardware manufacturer and then select OK.
2. Insert the CD-ROM or the NDIS Drivers diskette into the appropriate drive.
3. When prompted, enter the path to the driver directory and select OK.
Note: Some of the files on the diskette are located in the DOS subdirectory. If
necessary, you will have to supply this subdirectory to get additional files
copied onto your computer.
4. At this point, Windows 95 might prompt you for network names. Type your
computer’s name and workgroup. Consult your system administrator if you do
not know this information. Select OK to continue.
5. The driver files will be copied. Windows might prompt you for the Windows 95
CD-ROM in order to install its default network protocols and services. Make
sure that the location of your Windows 95 installation files (for example, d:\ or
d:\win95 or c:\windows\catroot) appears in the entry and select OK.
After the files have been copied, a dialog box displays the following message:
To finish setting up your new hardware, you must
