SETUP FOR WINDOWS 95

 

Before You Begin Installation

Determine which version of Windows 95 is installed on your computer.

Obtain the Installation Disk that shipped with the LAN Card.

Ask the MIS department for your network file server name, your network account user name, and your password.

Determining Your Windows 95 Version

Before setting up the card, you must know which version of Windows 95 is installed on your computer. Version A, an early version of Windows 95, is still installed on many computers. Most newer computers, especially those which come with Windows 95 already installed, run OSR 2 (also called version B or version C). These versions of Windows 95 require different files and different setup procedures.

Follow these steps to find out which version of Windows

95 you are running:

1In the Windows 95 Control Panel, double-click System to display the System Properties dialog box.

2Click the General Tab to display the Windows 95 version information.

Version A is identified as 4.00.950 or 4.00.950a.

OSR 2 is identified as 4.00.950b or 4.00.950c.
