If your machine is an AMD based setup, windows95 cannot handle
processor speeds above 350 mhz. What you need is an exe file called
amdk6upd.exe (278kb) freely available to download from the net. Boot
up into safe mode (F5) and run this file. If you have trouble getting
hold of it, I would be happy to email it to you as an attachment.
