- Unfortunately, Win 95 first install was ok. Sure I had some problems, but with
- the help of the support staff. I got them fixed. It worked great for all my
- existing programs. But then I did something I now regret. I tried to install a
- new program. At first it all went pretty well. But, maybe you've had programs
- that didn't work, too. No? Well, I love the programs that have those uninstall
- programs. But what I really really hate are the uninstall programs that don't
- work. Yeah, I've had a few of those. So, you go to the control panel, and try
- it from there. Nope. So you delete the files, and do an old fashioned delete,
- by going into the *.ini files, autoexec.bat , and config.sys. Well, with win 95
- you've also got that regestry. Now with a program missing from all of the other
- files, you've still got info in the registry. In fact, when you boot up, it
- checks in the registry to make sure everything is there. But its not, so the
- system hangs on boot up. Now you've got 2 choices mess with the registry, or
- leave it be. Well, first I tried the first. And restored the registry after it
- didn't boot up at all. Then I tried a reinstall. Now I have no sound and for a
- week or so, couldn't get online with the dialer, but could with the old netcom
- shell. Amazing. Same thing with the sound. It works fine in dos, but states
- that I don't have a driver in win95. But its there. At least thats what a part
- of win95 says.
-
- This is a great OS, as long as you don't mess with it, don't install anything on
- it, and don't expect it to be a great os. Perfect for the ignorant.
