The DBLBUFF.SYS and IFSHLP.SYS are missing from my operating system win95. It doesn't start in safe mode also. I don't have a cd of win95 but I have win95 installed on another computer in the LAN.
I tried to copy from other machine to floppy but itgive the following massege "cannot copy DBLBUFF.SYS network access is denied. Be sure that you have the correct netowrk permissions to perform this operation."
But i have logged as a administrator. Please tell me how to copy these files under dos. ?
Thanks.

Well if you have to access any files on the network you need to have access/full right permissions to do so. If not you can use that system where it is and copy the files to the floppy and then copy it to the resquired directory as where you found it in the client with win95.
all the best

There is only one way to copy those files.

First find the folder they are in and write the path down.

Next shutdown the win95 computer that works to the DOS mode.

Change directories using the CD command to the folder the files are in.

Now type COPY DBLBUSS.SYS A:
COPY IFHLP.SYS A:

Make sure there is enough space on the floppy disk to hold the complete file. Use one floppy for each file if you are not sure.

Now on the computer that does not work. Boot up to the Command Prompt Only!

Use the same CD command to go to the folder the files were in on the working computer.

Now type COPY A:\

That will copy all the files on the floppy. Repeat for the other file if you had to put them on different diskettes.
Now try and boot the computer.

Use Norton ghost to make the copy of other win95 to the damaged one. get the trial version if possible.
