Ok. I finally got it to boot, and installed Win95. Every thing good up to that part. When it trys to load windows i get a blue screen error. Cant figure out why. Same thing in safe mode. But command prompt works just fine. Any ideas?

I've built many systems lately and have run into the same problem. Depending on when the blue screen comes up determines the prob (Also the device that caused the prob) I'm thinking 1 of 2 things.

1. If you see the desktop for a seconds then it crashes, it's definately the video driver. Try getting the one that a someone posted.

2. If you have a network adapter in there, and the blue screen comes up in the middle-end of the Win95 screen, it's an error by the driver on the network card

Another thing, Hit F8 when you first see the Starting Windows 95... and select boot with boot.loig running. This will tell you wether it's a driver or Windows problem but you have have to re-install 95. Hope this helps!

Well, i see the Cloud and windows logo thingy, but no desktop. Its even got the animated blue bar at the bottom moving. Thats when it locks up. Says its Device Win or Windows or somethign like that. No NIC currently installed...I was thinking possibly the video drivers..but i dont think its it considering windows doesnt totally load.

Do the last th8ing that I put in the message. Create boot log by hitting F8 when Starting Windows 95... Comes up. I'll keep checking. Be sure to post the boot.txt in the C:\ directory when you reply

Well, I ended up solving the problem by installing Win98. All works now. Go figure. Thanks for the help.
