Should I go back to win 3.1?

I Have a 1995 micron millennia pro with a motherboard made for a 486 upgraded to a P120 pentium. Tech suport said no bios update available. When windows 95 was installed the system only runs in dos compatibility mode. There is a regsvr32 error when attempting to use windows drivers for the hard disk controler. Would it be better to go back to 3.1?

By all accounts with a P120, you are graduated from 486 era and really should stick with Win9x even though its not much better. I'd say you do a clean reformat of your harddrive and reinstall win95

I would like to try a clean boot. That is Back up the registry and .ini files and boot with system 1st. This would tell me if there is a chance windows can access the hard drive in protected mode. I figure that this would simulate the reinstall but would allow me to go back to the present configeration. See a flaw in my logic?
