- Win95 has some great features and I'm glad there are folks not having
- difficulties using it. I have installed and worked with many different OS
- from DEC's RSTS, RSX and VMS , SCO XENIX/UNIX to MS/DOS and WIN31. It is
- to be expected that a new OS will have problems and WIN95 is no exception.
-
- I have installed and removed WIN95 from my laptop, but have kept it on my
- desktop box. It runs fine for a while and then just decides that my HD has
- a virus and at boot up gives me the "Your computer has a virus" message
- and drops into DOS compatibility mode. The reason I'm in here tonight is
- once again I'm trying to find an answer and I am having NO sucess. I guess
- it's back to the CD and time to run setup again - (4th time since
- installing in November!!!)
-
- As someone who is use to troubleshooting OS problems I have one major
- complaint - the documentation is terrible - not hard to read or to
- technical - just plain inadequate.
-
- I'm glad and don't doubt there are people using and enjoying WIN95 - I
- like many of the features, but from my perpective the OS is unstable and
- I'm looking forward to the next release hoping it my stablize the product.
