	Hi:
		I encountered the same problems as yours several days
		ago. The SUWIN means SetUp Windows, that is the 
		window will display while you are installing or 
		setting up Windows 95, its function is to tell you how

		to continue the next step of installing or provide 
		some useful information.

		So, I solve the problem just to turn off the external 
		cache of the mainboard BIOS, after turning the 
		external cache off, everything seems going
		smooth.

		What I suggest is to turn off the cache in your
		BIOS while installing and try.

		Maybe the problem is caused by other 
		sources, just try.

Gerhard Landauf,

  When you run Win95's setup have your system set to VGA resolution,
640x480, and use the standard Win3.x drivers. Then when Win95's setup
displays the hardware list set it to a VGA video card and monitor. The
setup should go in then and you can change these after Win95 is up and
running. Also if you can it would be best to just do a clean install of
Win95 with an empty formatted HDD.

  Later.

    If you have decided to reinstall due to a corrupt file, prehaps you
could try extracting the original file from the installation CAB files
and copy the extracted file over your suspected corrupt one. This might
save you from reinstalling.
    Type EXTRACT at the DOS prompt for an explanation of the syntax.
