I hope you mean the VM Tools installation not the OS installation, don’t you? But I’d still like to know what are the Windows95.disks 5 and 6 they require me to insert. Is it simply the Windows 95 installation disk or something else? I may not be an expert on computers,( even though I have been working with computers for more than 20 years!) but sure VMWare is darn complicated!
I thought that with the insight I gained from the 1st installation, I could now install it easily on another computer, but I was wrong.
The other computer is an older Dell with an AMD 64 processor, also on Windows 7, but I am back at square 1! I cannot get the Win 95 setup running after the initial fdisk and format c:. It always baffles me which drive letter to choose: some are D;, some are R: . I do also get a » Non-system or disk error » message which I have never got before, And yet, I am following the same «hard-won» procedure as in the other computer! I think if I keep running into problems like this , I’ll take a look at another program like VM Box or others!
I do appreciate your help. May be If I can’t get it right on the 2nd computer on my own, I will post to this Forum again, with more specific description of the problems I am encountering.
Thanks

How to Fix Windows Protection Error in Windows 95 on VirtualBox
In this article, we will examine step by step how to fix the Protection Error error for Win95 virtual machine running on the Oracle VM VirtualBox virtualization program.
If you encounter this error when installing Windows 95, an older operating system, using the Oracle VM VBox virtualization program on the VM, the solution to this fault is quite simple.
After completing the installation of Win 95 on VirtualBox, you will see a mistake “While initializing device OS: Win Protection Error. You need to restart your computer.” failure when the setup restarts the virtual machine to finish the last steps.
This fault can often be due to incompatible hardware drivers, unsupported hardware, or startup apps.
For VM Protection Failure resolution, we will fix this problem by turning off VT-x from the VM settings.
In our previous article, we did a step-by-step Win 95 installation using Oracle VM VBox.

How to Repair Boot Error in Win 95/98/2000
When you look at the image below, you will be able to see this error better. This error causes a boot error when you want to use the Win95, Win98 or Win2000 operating system with Oracle VM VBox. Because, according to today’s operating systems, virtualization programs are being developed.
Step 1
First, completely shut down the Win 95 VM. Click X (Close) to close the VM and select Power off the machine option in the Close VM window that opens and click the OK button.
Step 2
Click the Right Key / Settings on Windows 95 from the VirtualBox VM partition. In the Windows 95 settings window, first, click System and in the right pane, on the Acceleration tab, clear the Enable VT-x / AMD-V checkbox against Hardware VT-x and click the OK button.
Step 3
When you reboot the Win 95 VM, you will see this error resolved. As a result, check the Enable VT-x / AMD-V option when you encounter this error when running older Microsoft operating systems on VT-x programs.
Final Word
In this article, we have fixed the Win 95/98/200 Boot Error that we encounter when installed Windows 95 with Oracle VM VBox. Thanks for following us!

I have tried booting up in safe mode and have formatted the VHD and reinstalled it several times, but I can’t figure out why it won’t work. It worked fine once before, but the hard drive it was on went bad, so I have to set it up again.
Thank you for any help/solutions.

Try reducing the available amount of RAM on the virtual setup and try again. Windows 95 is a very fast OS on hardware from 1998 and up, so I wouldn’t allocate more than 384MB RAM.

I just started my virtual Win 95 for the 1st time on VMWare 9. The Windows 95 Logo comes up fine but then I get the same error » Windows protection error»
I have set my RAM at about 250 MB. It doesn’t help. How do I disable Hardware Actualization?. Is it done within the guest system in VMWare or in the main Host system? ( I am on Windows 7)
Thanks

(this is what I had to do to get it working on windows 7)
installing windows 95 manually without the floppy setup disk
what you need:
.DOS on a floppy or on an image (.flp .img)
.Windows 95 cd
.VMWARE player (it’s free) or virtualpc (I recommend VMWARE)
.Magiciso (the free trial version will do)
.a copy of MSCDEX.EXE and oakcdrom.sys (both can be found online)
step 1
create a new virtual machine (make sure to add a floppy image drive if you are using vmware)
step 2
put your dos floppy/image in or mount it and install dos
step 3
download and install the free version of magiciso
open magic iso
go to new — floppy — 1.44
find a copy of mscdex.exe
find a copy of oakcdrom.sys (generic cd rom driver that works with dos.. might have to try another if it doesn’t work)
RENAME the oakcdrom.sys to cdrom.sys
drag both these files into magic iso on the floppy disk we just created
save the file
close magic iso
find the file we just saved in your explorer
change the extension from .ima to .flp (if you are using vmware) or .img (if you are using virtualpc)
(if you can’t see the extensions you’re going to need to change your folder options to show extensions)
google it. it’s easy to do
step 4
go back to your virtual machine
mount the floppy image we just created
a:
copy mscdex.exe c:
copy cdrom.sys c:
(don’t forget to rename oakcdrom.sys to cdrom.sys in step 3)
step 5
find config.sys in your c drive
type:
edit config.sys
now add a line that says this
device=c:cdrom.sys /d:mscd001
exit and save
step 6
find autoexec.bat in your c drive
type:
edit autoexec.bat
now add a line that says this
c:mscdex.exe /d:mscd001
exit and save
step 7
restart the computer or virtual machine
step 8
we’re still not done yet
now move to your c drive and type
mscdex.exe: /d:mscd001 /M:5 /V /L:d /S /K
(this part /M:x refers to the amount of buffers your drive has.. it’s either 4 or 5. usually 5)
step 9
create a blank floppy image either in vmware or magic iso then mount that new one
put your windows 95 cd in the cd drive
type:
d:
setup.exe
step 10
it should be booting windows 95 now
now you might run into troubles when it tries to install the other drivers
it might ask you for windows floppies even if you’re using the cd version
which I never understood
but anyways, you can find all of these drivers on the windows 95b cd if you have it
they’re all in cab files
so you’d need to extract them 1 by 1 and put them on floppy images to use them.
(huge pain)
but I actually just got it to load the drivers off the win95 cd by just trying it over and over again until
it worked. it might have been because I either did or didn’t restart after putting in the windows 95 cd
can’t remember, but I’d try both if you’re having trouble
all in all windows 95 is incredible wonky to install in a virtual machine. I highly recommend using VMWARE
and not virtual pc for this one.
If you didn’t have a hard time installing this.. you got incredible lucky
make sure you check to make sure windows95 is seeing your cd drive
if not go to the add new hardware wizard in the control panel and see if that detects it
(note: I tried it first without installing dos before hand and was running into troubles even though I had build the autoexec.bat and the config.sys correctly. Installing ms-dos first made the installation process a lot smoother)

I am trying to set up Windows 95 on a VM using Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 with a 8 GB VHD. Everything works fine until it finishes setup, but it when it tries to start Windows for the first time, it says, «While initializing device IOS: Windows protection error. You need to restart your computer.»
I have tried booting up in safe mode and have formatted the VHD and reinstalled it several times, but I can’t figure out why it won’t work. It worked fine once before, but the hard drive it was on went bad, so I have to set it up again.
Thank you for any help/solutions.

Usually IOS results from too much RAM; generally you’ll get this error with more than 512MB RAM.
Try reducing the available amount of RAM on the virtual setup and try again. Windows 95 is a very fast OS on hardware from 1998 and up, so I wouldn’t allocate more than 384MB RAM.

В VirtualPC 2007 для работы Win95 необходимо отключить аппаратную виртуализацию, иначе появляется та самая ошибка защиты Windows.
-
Лечение такое же самое — установить патч amdk6upd.exe. Это ошибка самой винды, а не виртуалок. А потом можно опять врубать аппаратную виртуализацию. Я смутно припоминаю, что в году 99-00 я и с реальным железом сталкивался с такой проблемой.

For example, if you do not have VMware Tools installed in your virtual machine, you cannot interact with the Guest OS to perform a graceful / clean shutdown or restart. This means you can only use the VM power options to perform a hard power off or power on of the virtual machine from the toolbar.
How do I fix protection error?
The best way to repair this type of Windows protection error is to shut down your computer and then reboot it using Windows Safe Mode. Once you are in Safe Mode you can uninstall the software or remove a hardware device that you recently installed.

Ok, I’ve found the solution, so I think it’s worth sharing to help you and other fellows.
The reason the Win95 kernel crashes is because of a well-know issue: Intel CPUs above 2.1 GHz aren’t supported (and AMD ones aren’t if >350 MHz) and will cause the network driver (NDIS) to crash during boot.
Microsoft has released a patch for it, but you need to run it within Win95. Luckily, a guy named «LoneCrusader» on the MSFN.org forum has re-packaged it into a convenient bootable ISO.
Steps to solve the «Windows Protection Error» when running Windows 95 on VirtualBox
1) edit the VM settings —> Acceleration —> disable VT/nested paging
2) download this zip file:
http://www.tmeeco.eu/9X4EVER/GOODIES/FI … _FINAL.ZIP
3) get the FIX95CPU.ISO file from the zip
4) attach the iso file to the CD drive of your Win95 VM (as usual)
5) reboot and you’ll get a red on black screen. It’s fine
6) decline to read the «readme» (better to read it later within Windows) and go ahead
7) reboot when prompted to do so, detach the ISO, reboot again and enjoy Win 95 working fine

Windows 95 protection error
I am new here, so, if I have put this message in the wrong place, please move it.
Even when I have used a patch, a fix disk, 95, every time it boots, it says «Windows protection error.». Any help?
Thanks,
Evan

Well, use 86Box for emulating Win95 and make sure the RAM is not higher than 480MB, and that the HDD size is within the FAT32’s limitations (if you’re using the C one aka OSR2.5), and for the record, make a smaller hard disk image like 500 or 400MB.

— TheCollector1988: It’s both regular and Optimized, Optimized binaries are recommended. And ignore PCem-X, that’s incredibly outdated.

Hello,
I’ve tried to use 86-box and it gave me an 0xc00007b at start. Do you know what it is and how to resolve it ? Thanks.

That error usually means that either you are trying to run a 64-bit application on a 32-bit system or a required DLL is missing. In this case, I suspect you are probably missing a DLL.
There should be an entry somewhere in the Event Log on your system that tells you what is happening — most likely you will see an error in the Application event log corresponding to when you try to run 86Box which will hopefully point you in the correct direction.

Are you using the 32-bit build first? As well as the 32-bit DLLs?

Well, only this build is available, and normally yes, i do have the 32 bits DLL’s, since i have System32 . This error is not only on 86-Box, but also on a recent game, so it might be that.

If you want to run windows 95 on a VM software with something like VMware player of virtualbox I remember fixing it by going somewhere into power options (I can’t remember where) and forcing the CPU to run slower, this has lead me to believe that the most common windows 95 protection error is an issue with CPU speed.

Disable «Enable VT-x/AMD-V». Found this out the hard way.

There’s also fix95cpu, which basically updates the files that «fail» above 350 MHz/2.1 GHz to newer versions. Just don’t use it on beta builds though. or we’ll come to your house and break your legs.

I would recommend using Virtual pc 2007 or dosbox or pcem because they have the correct emulated hardware specs to emulate windows 95 just fine. I would also recommend using Windows 95 C version since it’s more up to date.
