Win95SE won't boot

Raven · 11-25-2006, 07:19 AM

Hello!

I have windows 95SE installed, but everytime I try to use it, it crashes.
It won't boot.
I can get to the loading splashscreen but then it reboots automatically.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
(Safe mode has the same problem).

P.S.:
My installed os'es:

-WinXP
-Win95SE
-Linux (Kubuntu)

Maybe this also helps:

Are you receiving any errors at all? Has it just started happening, and if so have you made any changes to the system recently?

Hi, Start your install again. Sometimes a failed install will result in the symtoms you describe. Boot from a boot floppy or CD ( not official Microsoft 95 CD, it doesn't boot) and run CD's Setup.Exe. Windows should repair itself with no loss of anything you have loaded.

Good Luck, Jim

Problem fixed, floppy was causing a conflict of some kind
