I suspect I will see a problem file in your config.sys (a 32-bit driver, prior to win 95...) I think I have been bitten by most of them and can now ID the guy who bit me before.<br />

&nbsp; I'm curious. I know you are right about the default bios settings, but why is that necessary. What is it about WFW3.11<br />
that causes this. Networking?<br />

When upgrading WfW3.11 to Win95 after installing and during the time Win95 is doing its first startup, I've had a few lockups. &nbsp;After rebooting, I'm presented with the SAFE MODE option and after selecting it I get the following message:<br />
Windows Protection error, you need to restart your computer.<br />
I've done quite a few upgrades - both machines ran fine with WfW. &nbsp;Win95 won't run, I can however, uninstall it and WfW runs fine again. &nbsp;Any suggestions?????
