1. How do I change the appearance or resolution of Windows 95? Right-click the desktop and select "properties". You
will see tabs to change the screen saver, appearance, number of colors, video
driver, and so on. To test the appearance or wallpapers you select, click
'apply' instead of 'OK'. Windows 95 is a stand-alone operating system and does not require DOS. However, elements of DOS have been built into Windows. Most of the commands previously located in the DOS directory are now located in the Windows\Command directory, and most DOS programs should work in Windows 95. If you have a problem getting a DOS program to work, try running it in MS-DOS mode as follows: Click Start - Shutdown - Restart in MS-DOS Mode. If you still have a problem, call the company from which you got the program. Top of Page Back to FAQ's
There area basically two ways to get on the Internet: the large
online services (Cable & Wireless, Compuserve, etc.) and the smaller
independent Internet Service Providers (ISP's). The online services provide you
with free software that integrates most of the capabilities of the Internet, and
instructions for how to install and use the software. To get the software, call
the service or look in any computer magazine. ISP's give you a connection, but
generally assume you will use your own software. To connect to an ISP, go to
Start - Programs - Accessories - Internet Tools and run the Internet Setup
Wizard. Put in the information provided by the ISP. After you reboot, you should
see a new icon on the desktop labeled "Internet". Double-click it to
begin.
GPF's are usually caused by software conflicts. If you started
to get them after installing a new program, you might try uninstalling it.
Corrupted video drivers are very frequently the source of the conflict. If you
change your driver to VGA (see question 1), and the problem seems to clear up,
you might need to install a new driver. Something else to try: Pressing
Control-Alt-Delete will show you a list of all currently running programs, and
the 'End Task' button will let you close whichever one is highlighted. If
closing a program fixes the problem, that program may be the cause. There are several places in windows 95 that will load a program
automatically: Start -Programs - Startup group If you need assistance with removing the program, call technical
support.
Go to Start - Settings - Control Panel, and double-click
Add/Remove Programs. Put your program's floppy disk or cd in the drive and click
the 'Install' button. This procedure will work with most programs. If it does
not work in your case, then the software vendor should provide you with
installation instructions.
First, go to Control Panel - System - Performance and see if any
problems are listed there. If not, try the following steps:
Go to Control Panel - System - Device Manager. You will be able
to see what devices are in your system, resolve hardware conflicts, and change
hardware resources.
Actually, they did, and it's called OEM Service Release 2. It's
not really a new version of Windows the way Windows 95 was. It's more of a
collection of bug fixes and minor improvements to Windows 95.
Control Panel has settings for just about everything you can
change in Windows. Take notes, though in case you change something you
shouldn't.
