Question has been asked before and nobody responded except comments about software piracy.

Any advice I give is my best judgement based on my interpretation of the facts you supply.

Help increase my knowledge by providing some feedback, good or bad, on any advice I have given.

I often find that the files it is looking for are actually already on your hard disk - when it asks for the disk, it is often possible to specify the location as c:\windows\system, or c:\windows. (try both, and if not search the hard disk - the file might be stashed away somewhere else).

Even if components are already installed, it ALWAYS asks for the files again. If the computer has ever had a modem, I'd bet a large beer they're already there!

I assume from your post you are referring to Win 95 on 3 1/2 Floppy disks. Copies of Win 95 are not all the same. I have seen some copies with 23 floppies, others with more or less than that number. Consequently if your PC asks for disk #9, for example, it may or may not be the correct number for a copy of Win 95 you may have . Only the origional install would work for certain. Consequently, you might need to do a full install. If the installer of the origional OS bypassed the setup for a connection, those files necessary may not have been loaded onto the PC.

Yeah, keep in mind there are different versions of win95. OSR1, OSR2, stuff like that. Just be sure if you do get the disks, they're the right version. Good luck!

Have fun, stay young, peel your eyes off the monitor!!
