Introduction
a. Overview, Command conventions and Abbreviations
WINDOWS 95 uses a point and click command method (a mouse) for most=
actions.=20
Programs, files, hardware devices (i.e. cd-rom) and documents are arranged=
and
accessed using a desktop and filing cabinet analogy. =20
Each icon on the desktop (your computer system) is in a folder (directory)
and/or file
(document). Together, these icons, hardware devices, folders and files can
be called
OBJECTS. =20
These OBJECTS can be moved, copied, opened, etc. using the point & click of=
a
mouse. This method of running programs and using the computer is called GUI=
or
Graphical User Interface.
The main win95 screen is called the DESKTOP. On the desktop are folders,
files and
other regularly used OBJECTS. These include:
EXPLORER -------> (win3.x =3D File Manager)
MY COMPUTER -----> (win3.x =3D Program Manager)
MSN ----------> Micro$oft Network
NETWORK NEIGHBORHOOD -------> (shared workgroup access)
RECYCLE BIN ------> Drag and Drop 'Delete'
START button ------------> Taskbar
Open one of these 'File Cabinets' and one will find Folders or what windows
3.x called
Program Groups. The FOLDERS (directories) may have more folders, TABS=
('option
screens') or Documents (Files). The primary conventions used in this FAQ to
indicate
how to perform an action -- is to list the order in which you do each step
by using that
OBJECT (actions and items) separated by backward slash. (\). For example, to
find
the windows3.x StartUp program group, now called the StartUp folder:
START \ Program \ Startup folder=20
Any text that must be typed in by you will be indicated as
{type text here (and what's needed)}
For instance to search for a file:
START \ Find \ {enter file name} \ Find Now
Additional, explanatory notes or details may be shown next the command and
will be
usually enclosed in parentheses ().

Correction, in the Subject line.
1. SETUP & INSTALLATION
1. My old windows3.x (Internet 16- bit winsock) program no longer
works?
The Windows95 32-bit winsock should run everything your previous winsock
(like trumpet
or chameleon) did. When used with the Microsoft tcp/ip Dial-Up Adapter or
another 32bit
tcp/ip protocol, you can run 32bit programs (called Internet clients) like
Netscape Navigator.
Make sure you only have one winsock installed as some programs may become
confused
and thus not work properly. You can verify the number of winsocks on your
computer by
using the win95 FIND command:
START taskbar \ Find winsock \ Find Now
If you still have an old winsock.dll on your system, rename it or delete it.
You may then
need to reboot (depending on whether or not you have attempted winsock usage
during
the current session). With the win95, most Internet (winsock) apps work
just fine -- (many
work better than before). However, Trumpet's winsock does seem to have
difficulty with the
32bit Internet applications. This FAQ includes specific Windows95 TCP/IP
setup & Dial-Up
Adapter Instructions and links to other sources of help for tcp/ip (PPP &
SLIP). Some
Internet programs like NFS or PING may not work at all because they are not
true tcp/ip
winsock applications.=20
2. My new win95 (Internet 32-bit winsock) program does not work?
All 32bit Internet programs require a 32bit winsock.dll AND 32bit winsock
(TCP/IP stack)
PROTOCOL. Both Win95 and WinNT's winsocks are called WSOCK32.DLL. The
WSOCK32.DLL is a 32-bit stack just like WINSOCK.DLL is a 16-bit stack for
windows3.x.=20
PPP and SLIP use the win95's DIAL-UP ADAPTER for the PPP and SLIP protocols
required to complete the connection to the Internet. See questions 3.1 (PPP)
and 3.2
(SLIP) for instructions on installing win95's dial-up adapter.
3. How to set up tcp/ip PPP connection?
SUMMARY: establishing a WIN95 Dial-Up Network Connection to the Internet:
1. Install win95 software (called the Dial-Up Adapter).
2. Configure the win95 Dial-Up Adapter.
3. Configure the win95 Dial-Up Connection
4. Once the dial-up adapter is installed, you can also review the document
"Dialing up
the Internet with Windows 95" located in the folder Dial-Up Networking
(click on the
MyComputer icon).

5. Eliminate errors when booting up?
Errors 6102 on bootup: I am getting this message every time I boot up:
"Error occurred
while loading device: VNETSUP: Error 6102. The string specified by the
Workgroup
keyword in the registry is too short."
Answer: Seen this before, you need to specify a workgroup in the Control
Panel /network
icon/identification tab. It doesn't matter what it says (mine says "none")
but it needs to have
something there.
VxD vmm Has anyone experienced a consistent fatal error in the final beta
with the
following message:>
A fatal error 0E has occurred in moduleVxD Vmm . . .>occurring @ various=
memory
addresses. The unit gets this message quite frequently (every 1-2 min. w/
normal use).I
can clear the error about 3-4 times before the screen no longer refreshes,
and I am forced
to reset. I have gone through the system properties looking for irq & dma
conflicts finding
none. I am suspecting a chipset argument among the hardware components.
Answer: I know a good challenge when I see it...found the answer to this one
in the win.ini
of all places. Remember that file which is only included for backwards
comparability? Under
the section [colors] the line "graytext=3D" sets the colors for disabled=
text.
I use a gray menu
so my entries are Menu=3D192 192 192 GrayText=3D128 128 128
My guess is that yours both read the same numbers. Try this and see if this
points to any
thing that will help. Go to Help and use the search to vmm32, in window 3
click on
Troubleshooting Specific Startup Errors, and Verifying the Installation.
6. TCP/IP Troubleshooting Diagnostics Program?
There's a program in the C:\WINDOWS directory that I've often seen but never
clicked on.=20
Turns out it's rather useful for diagnosing DNS and IP address problems.The
program is
called WINIPCFG.EXE, and is a really cool little thing. It gives a pull-down
list box of your
various IP interfaces, including PPP, and their respective information.
Even has
checkboxes for IP Routing, which implies that Win95 should be able to do
this, just like NT.=20
Click the "More Info" box and find yourself bedazzled by swaths of
information. (Most of
which is for DHCP, and useless for most dial-up users, but hey, it's there.)
Doesn't look like
you can /change/ it from here, though, unless you're running DHCP.=

7. After install, files that may be manually delete?
Files '95 won't delete....ie. Terminal is now replaced by Hyperterminal, do
you still need
Terminal cluttering up your HD? Files '95 deletes only if you install new
versions....ie.Character Map is also offered by '95 if you specified it
replaced. If you
don't use Character Map do you need this type of file on your HD? Features
dropped.......ie.Clock isn't included with '95, so it doesn't delete them,
if you don't use
these, do you need them?
Orpahans......HANDLE WITH CARE*****some are key Win3.x system files, follow=
the
orphan procedure, after running Win95 for a month or so...
1) in MS-DOS mode check each accessed date with DIR /V filename
2) if the access date is blank, (hasn't been accessed for the month) then
move to a
TEMPORARY dir.
3) if the system runs good for another month you can probably safely delete
the files.

1.8 TIPS: Install & Re-Install?
Last week I posted a message (INSTALL: 490=3D>MSN=3D>WordPad) about problems=
I
was having with viewing MSN downloaded files . . .(and MS tech support
suggestion
that I re-install Windows to a separate directory --> possible corrupted
system files)

... after struggling for almost twelve hours last night and this morning, I
learned:
-- having DOS still "underneath" win95 was a life-saver
-- having a couple good reference books made the life-saving possible _PC
MOM, the
MOTHER of ALL PC BOOKS_ (c) 1995 by Leonhard & Simon; _DOS INSIDE & OUT_
(c) 1991 by K.Jamsa; _MULTI-MEDIA & CD-ROMS's for DUMMIES_ (c) 1994 by
A.Rathbone; _MORE WINDOWS for DUMMIES_ (c) 1994 by A.Rathbone
-- if you have a cd-rom, make sure a copy of the DOS program, MSCDEX.EXE, =
is
residing in your c:\DOS directory, so in Step By Step BOOT mode you can run
it if DOS
won't recognize your cd-rom. (I had to copy it from my original MS-DOS=
disks)
After bootup, at the DOS command line, retype the line from your CONFIG.SYS
file that
references the cd-rom driver, it will look something like this=20
c:\utility\cdromDRV.SYS /D:mcd-000 /n:1
Then run the MS-DOS Load CD-ROM driver program:
c:\dos\mscdex.exe /D:mcd-000
-- Pay ATTENTION to what directory win95 tries to install in, it may not be

and there is not alert that "are you sure you want to install to a
different directory?"
-- Cannot find HIMEM.SYS ... make sure it is in your WINDOWs directory (you
look and
it is there), type at the dos prompt SET and the HIMEM.SYS" command line
