Contents:
Internet Explorer 5.5 SP2
(The latest version of Internet Explorer for Win95) - This is the full
version with Outlook Express, 128 bit encryption, and Java.
DirectX 8.0a
- If you use Windows 95, this is the latest version of DirectX you can
install; it supports the majority of games that run effectively on
Windows 95.
Windows media player 7.1
- Microsoft has 6.4 for download but the only reason 7.1 didn't run on
Win95 was because microsoft coded it to refuse to install on 95 when
they stopped supporting it. Well, someone figured out that if you use
the 7.0 installer to install 7.1 you can run Media Player 7.1 on
Windows 95!
Windows 95 Y2K Update - Updates Windows 95 to make it
Y2K compliant.
Windows 95 OEM SR2 Update (for Multifunction CardBus
Cards Resolve several Plug and Play issues with PC Cards).
This download contains the Windows 95 OEM SR2 Update for Proper Plug
and Play Operation with Multifunction CardBus Cards. The update fixes
several problems users may experience when using multifunction PC
Cards. Please note that this patch does not resolve issues associated
with any other versions of Windows 95 other than the OEM SR2 version.
If you are not sure which version of Windows 95 you have, you can find
out simply by checking your System Properties. To do this, right-click
My Computer and select Properties. An OEM SR2 system will show a
designator, such as "4.00.9500 B," as the version. The number may vary
slightly, but the letter designator will be a B for the OSR2 version.
Version designators without a B, such as those that include an "A" or
show nothing after the number, cannot utilize this patch.
Note: IBM ThinkPad models 770, 770E, 560X, 380XD, 385XD, and 600
incorrectly had the "TP-DOCK1" BIOS signature when they were initially
released. Owners of these machines should update to the current BIOS
from IBM before installing the PC Card update.
OpenOffice.org 1.0.3.1
(Legacy Build for Win 95) - known and the "better than" alternative to
Microsoft Office. It includes the key desktop applications, such as a
word processor, spreadsheet, presentation manager, and drawing program,
with a user interface and feature set similar to other office suites.
Sophisticated and flexible, it also works transparently with a variety
of file formats, including those of Microsoft Office.
