Going from XP back to 95
Don't be fooled by the subject, its much more
complicated. What happened is that I got Windows XP on my computer, and it just doesn't work for me. So now I really want to go back to Windows 95(I have 95 install and my harddrive is still FAT32). So I followed some advice I got from you guys and tryed to use a startup disk to install it, but after it preformed the checks, setup the install wizard, and the EULA thing, it froze on me leaving all systems stopped. I really need help on this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Going from XP back to 95
If you have a new computer, its likely Windows 95 will not install
on it. Windows 95 is over 8 years old and it most certainly does not have the drivers for your new computer's internal hardware configuration necessary for installation. If you just don't care for XP's format, then you can change it easily.
