Win 95 hangs on me

I attempted to re-install Win 95 and subsequently came upon a problem. Everything installed fine - the PC reset and starting updating etc - it then prompted me for a setup disk and a series of files which did not exist on the Win95 cd - filenames suck as :

Vvoice.vxd
vmodem.vxd
ptsnozp.exe

12 files were requested in total - i skipped this section only to find that on startup - Win95 hangs on me every time -

Question - where can i get these files to finish installing Win95?

Please, please help!!!

when it prompts you for those files you don't seem to have, point the dialogue box to your windows directory. If the file isn't there, then point it to the windows system directory. This solves about 80% of my installation problems. The Vvoice looks like part of the modem install, although it may also be voice recognition software.
