Windows 95 Does Not Recognize Your Computer as Plug and Play

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows 95

-

SYMPTOMS
Windows 95 does not recognize your machine as a Plug and Play computer even though you receive a message during startup that states:

Intel PnP BIOS Extensions Installed

CAUSE
Intel has developed some motherboards that are equipped with a Plug and Play BIOS that does not contain the run-time services necessary to configure motherboard devices.

An example of such a motherboard is the Intel P5/90. Gateway, and possibly other original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), ship computers with the P5/90 motherboard.

RESOLUTION
Consult your hardware vendor about upgrading your system BIOS to comply with the Plug and Play BIOS version 1.0a specification.
