95 Error Message
I don't suppose anyone will see this but I'll give it a go.
I have an old computer on which I have just installed Windows 95 I've no idea if it is a or b edition as I only have the cd left. It is 100% legal. When I restart after install it comes up with an error message. "While initializing device IOS: Windows protection error. You need to restart your computer" I've restarted in "normal" "safe" & "step by step" but it always comes back with the same error. Can anyone explain what the error is and how to overcome it so I can finish booting. Thank You. |

Try the Microsoft Knowledge Base article, Error Message: Initializing Device IOS Windows Protection Error.
I Googled, "while initializing device ios windows 95" and got 1,390 results. If the MS article doesn't help, try some of those other resources. |

Ok, I'm really getting nowhere as half the options in the solutions don't seem to be there for me.
This is an old Shuttle with a Maxtor Diamonmax Plus8 drive of 40GB AMD Semperon 2600, Ram is KVR266x64C25/256 soI think that is 256 MB of PC266 I've fdisk'ed my drive and formatted it. I really can't remember the sequence next. Do I install Dos, Windows for Workgroups 3.11 first or can I go straight to 95. My disks are all legal (I keep everything) How do I know if I have version "a" or "B" there is nothing on the disk to tell me. Does it matter which boot disk I use ? |

Solved
Ok
All I wanted to do was play some old games "wolfenstein, Spear of Destiny" etc. where it all began for me. In desperation I thought I'd try Windows 98 as I could'nt get 95 installed . Viola!! all the very first games I bought play on 98, and they really are'nt so bad today. Ahhhh Nostalgia. Case closed. |
