∙ Release Notes:
                - Release candidate for Beta 3
                - Latest version of the ever popular Windows 95 series     

∙ Install Notes: 
               (Zip)                     (Password)
            RETAIL01.zip                    Kelly
            RETAIL02.zip                  Kimberly

             Either unzip all ZIPs into 1 dir along with the .CAB files
             and install, or to make installable floppies:

             Unzip retail01.zip and retail02.zip into a directory.
             PRECOPY2.CAB and Win95_02.CAB go on disk 2, everything else
             from the ZIPs go on disk 1. And CAB 3-22 are their own disks.

Changes[edit | edit source]

  • This build introduces the option to restart the computer to MS-DOS mode.
  • The "Advanced options" page to disable Windows 95 file system features (long filenames, 32-bit disk access), which only appeared if the "Custom" Setup type has been selected, has been removed. To turn off these features, start Windows 95 in MS-DOS mode and run WIN.COM /D:F to start the Desktop environment. Also, SYSTEM.INI can be modified to have the string 32BitDiskAccess=FALSE.
  • The S3 Vision964 PCI graphics card is now installed as "S3 Vision964 PCI" instead of "S3 801/928/964".
  • The warning icon has been flipped upside down while keeping the "!", so it now resembles the RTM icon.
