how fast is the cpu?? win95 won't run on anything faster than 300 amd mhz cpu, unless a patch is installed. i'm assuming if thatts the case it is an amd system board/cpu. amd site has the patch.

If it isn't the CPU issue, it's most probably the vid card driver/config. Press F8 when booting (for menu) select safe mode and remove your vid driver from Device Manager. Then reboot and if it goes into Win (it'll use the default PCI VGA standard driver) you know it's definitely video.

Have you installed a new keyboard - or is a key stuck down on the one you have? This sometimes causes very odd messages like this!

i'm not sure on the cpu speed but i no it isn't a keyboard problem. i tried taking out the video driver but it still stops at the win95 screen or goes into safe mode. if i ctl+alt+del at the win95 screen it now gives me an OE error in the netbuei and some other area. i think i'm going to try pulling the network card. any more ideas?
