I highly doubt you'll find any driver for win95. Why are you trying to install Win95? and what spec is the laptop?

Re: New install for Win95 on ATI Mobility Radeon AGP
I've just installed WIN95 OSR 2.5 on a Thinkpad A31. Got the Audio working OK, by downloading the driver SW from Lenovo. Used the Win 98 driver which matches my ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 AGP hardware and updated WIN 95 with the last Win95 update for DirectX, DIRECTX809X, and it worked. Tried the same with the Video and it did NOT work. So, currently stuck with 640x480 16-colors. Any help gratefully received!!!

Did not answer why Win95 ? Just lost my last Butterfly (good service for 15 years), saved HD with lots of SW 99% of which will not run on WINXP.

unfortunately like i said... my attempts at running windows 95 on any system.. even only a few years after 95 was orginally used.... has presented a major problem.


However the OTHER alternative which does work VERY VERY well... is using Microsoft windows 7 Proffesional with virtual PC...

Running windows 95 within a windows 7 enviroment has worked quite well for me... Just stick the 95 disk in.. and load up virtual pc and create a virtual machine, let it boot from the 95 disk (if possible, may require a little extra work which you can find guides on the internet for)..

Any chance it'll work under windows 98se?.. if yes.... 98se works great out of the box without any additional steps due to having a bootable disk.
