Memphis 1400 Explorer does not work

[Windows Thunderstruck]

I am trying to install Memphis build 1400, in Virtual PC 2007, but the problem is:

Setup goes normally just like every other 95 and other Memphis builds.

Then when Explorer attempts to start up, it crashes instead.



Upgrading from Windows 95 did not work either.

The BIOS date is March 10, 1997.

Did you install it with FAT32 or from MS-DOS?

[Windows Thunderstruck]

Boot floppy from Windows 95 OSR2, with FAT32.

[LangsamSpieler]

I think, you need MS-DOS it's more Windows 95 than Memphis or Windows 98, i think FAT16 is working good or too much RAM

[Windows Thunderstruck]

Why DOS? It's not gonna work, I used 128 megs of ram, and FAT32 does work in earlier builds.

Edit: I also set the date to a week earlier, March 3, 1997 and it did not do a thing at all.

[LangsamSpieler]

Use 86Box then

PCem? the one that has trouble booting a floppy, after my struggles with NT 3.51's boot disks?
I don't think so.
It worked just fine on this same computer, last September and on my older Lenovo computer.
Explorer didn't crash during that time, nor on that computer.

VPC was always used during that time.

86Box is just a heavily modified PCem, and that did not work either.

Then are this Build maybe for VMware the perfect

I don't understand what you are saying, apparently about VMware the Perfect.

VMWare? Newer versions of VMware HATE Windows 9x. I suppose I could use VMWare as long I have a driver to get it out of 640x480 and 16 colors.

[LangsamSpieler]

Exactly. I have all my Windows 95 Betas except 90c in VMware 14 Pro installed and 90c on 86Box

[Windows Thunderstruck]

Windows 95? Not to backseat moderate, but this is about Memphis, not Chicago.
This is about the Explorer.exe crash in Memphis build 1400.

It worked just fine in September last year.

[LangsamSpieler]

What did you use than?

[Windows Thunderstruck]

Virtual PC 2007 with Memphis build 1400, date set to March 3, 1997.
Windows 95 OSR2 boot floppy, ACPI and APM both disabled.
Host is Windows 8.1.

Maybe the Time-Bomb explode, i would make the BIOS Date to 1 January 1990

[Windows Thunderstruck]

New Year's Day 1990?! No way!
The expiry date is in June I think.

[LangsamSpieler]

I did make my Windows 95 Betas so what have a Timebomb, and my collection can so have 4 Years durabillity

How did you get rid of the expiry dates? For both Chicago and Memphis?

[LangsamSpieler]

I did read in Build 222 German, that this Build are expiring on 31 March 1995, but when i did first time try to install a Beta 2 i did not know that they have a BIOS Date. So i did look on Youtube with

Code: Select all

Windows 95 Beta 2

a Video for Build 216. The Date from the creator did say 4. November 1994 and earlier, i did make it to New year 1990 for long durability and that's why my machines are working. But only VGA is enough for me, because i'm not the bg Grapic fan. I'm more the Development fan

[Windows Thunderstruck]

Wow... Okay
I thought you were supposed to be helping me with Memphis's Explorer crashes, not talking about Windows 95 builds or expiry dates.

[LangsamSpieler]

Now, i did think, the same thing are the Problem with Memphis

[Windows Thunderstruck]

Have you ever tried this build of Memphis?
Did you get the Explorer crash on bootup?

[LangsamSpieler]

Now, i did install one Memphis in VMware, and that was between 1351 and 1525, and they are hang on the Setup last phase or there are a RSOD

EDIT: I did try 1400, never worked

[Windows Thunderstruck]

What happened in your case?
The Explorer crash I am talking about?

[LangsamSpieler]

Not only, i did always get Boot errors and others. Or on

Code: Select all

It's now save turn off the Computer

a BSOD

[LangsamSpieler]

But let now think the others because i can't help in this
