General Protection Error

I would suggest upgrading to IE 5, unless you have a compelling reason no to.

I would suggest upgrading to IE 5, unless you have a compelling reason not to.

I would maybe reinstall the busmastering and IDE controllers, both of these can be found at the particular chipset's site (intel, via, etc...) However, it may be entirely possable that the chipset died on you.

If this is an 350+ AMD, you'll won't to go to AMDs site and get the patch for AMD CPUs and windows 95.

Although it's possavle that something was written with a different version from the IE install, I doubt that it's related to installing that.

Good luck to you

Try reinstalling the HDD controllers after making sure the information is out of the registry by doing this.

click on start, then run and type regedit(click ok).
Goto HKLM\enum\mf\child0000 and delte the subkeys under child0000.
You want to do the same for the child0001.

Next, you want to goto HKLM\system\current controlset\services\class\hdc and remove the keys located under hdc.

Close the registry editor and restart the system.

Reinstall the HDD controllers.

Did you accidentally install the 128bit upgrade for IE5 instead of IE4? Can you get into safe mode to try to uninstall the encryption patch? I would try going to ADD/Remove programs in safe mode to see if you can uninstall either/and/or IE or the encryption update. Get to safe mode by hitting the F8 button after the hardware detect screen flashes in POST.

Uninstalling Windows 95 Updates on a Single Computer
In most cases, Windows 95 updates can be safely and easily uninstalled and replaced with the original versions of the updated components. This is typically facilitated by an .inf file copied to either the Windows\INF\QFE folder (in most cases), or to the Windows folder (for some older installer packages), during installation of the update. This file typically has a name of the form _UN.INF. This .inf file can be used to uninstall the Windows 95 update by right-clicking the file in Windows Explorer, and then clicking Install.

When a Windows 95 update is uninstalled, you are prompted for the original Windows 95 installation disks or CD-ROM. The original version of the files arecopied and overwrite the updated versions. An alternate file location may also be specified at this time. When uninstallation is complete, you typically need to restart the computer for the change to take effect.

Boot your system using the system start up disk and then using then reinstall with IE5,when system reboots reinstall the drivers and then go to the microsoft web site and follow on screen instructions to installing 128 bit encryption.

Start the machine in safe mode..

Remove EVERYTHING !! from the device manager...

Reboot and have Windows find everything again (Windows will tell you that it must re-boot several times before you actually get into Windows, Don't just keep pushing forward)..

When Windows finally opens, Reboot...

You may need to re-install drivers for any non-standard hardware...

This whole process can be done in about twenty minutes with an average speed computer.

Thanks.....Jeremy
