Dark_Matter Posted January 19, 2006 Author CID Share Posted January 19, 2006 I can't even get testmy.net to load on IE with Windows 95. Get a Script Error Message, and IE dies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Matter Posted January 19, 2006 Author CID Share Posted January 19, 2006 Screw this Slackware or debian linux is going back on this thing. (LOL) Atleast it works better than this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phrankl Posted January 19, 2006 CID Share Posted January 19, 2006 Maybe try update IE? Go to microsoft, see if they've got IE 5.5... Not sure if IE 6 will even work on Win95.... Good Luck! Phrankl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phrankl Posted January 19, 2006 CID Share Posted January 19, 2006 Reason I say this, is Win95 came with IE 4.x or something like it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cholla Posted January 19, 2006 CID Share Posted January 19, 2006 Maybe IE4 has a problem with this it has been showing up on the first testmy page for a few days. "Notice: SSI.php was unable to load a session! This may cause problems with logout and other functions - please make sure SSI.php is included before *anything* else in all your scripts! in /home/testmyn/public_html/forum/SSI.php on line 158" I use Windows ME & I use IE6 this is the latest version available for ME.I think there is a later version for XP. I don't have it on anything but i have 3.5 diskets for IBM DOS version 4.00, Windows 3.0, &Windows 3.11.A ghost type restore disk for Windows 98SE (its a peice of crap that came with the PC).

Dirk Posted January 21, 2006 CID Share Posted January 21, 2006 I think mostly you would need the updated drivers.The RAM might be a problem I don't think 95 will handle that much. I can tell you that other "Legacy" software (Photoshop release 5 and lower, illustrator 8 and lower) can't handle more than 512 mb ram at all. but windows 95 can deal with up to 2 GB. look here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q181594/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
