040906 -
040907 - Talked to Dan
040908 -
040909 - He worked with me for an hour or so. We seem to have W95 running
040910 - again. It re-created the original apps and restored the Program
040911 - function in the Start function. When we boot to DOS start OS2, we
040912 - no longer have option 7. I tried option 5 and it seems to work.
040913 -
040914 -
040915 - We created a new W95 boot disk.
040916 -
040917 - The apps we had before were installed again.
040918 -
040919 - Dan said we can recreate the Start Programs if they are lost again,
040920 - by running Startup from within W95.
040921 -
040922 - Where do we run Startup in W95?
040923 -
040924 - Click Start, select Run. need CD.
040925 -
040926 - call: j:\win95\setup
040927 -
040928 -
040929 -
040930 - We put the uninstall stuff the installation opertion created on the
040931 - e: drive. It is a 21 MB hidden file on e.
040932 -
040933 - How do we uninstall this thing.
040934 -
040935 - Start, Settings, Control Panel, select Add/Remove programs.
040936 -
040937 - W95 is listed in the window below; click to make it current and
040938 - click on button to Add/Remove.

040942 - Memory management
040943 -
040944 - We have 594K free as a baseline. Dan says network drivers will load
040945 - high in W95. There is no particular evidence for this though. The
040946 - other drivers are loaded in lower RAM.
040947 -
040948 - Dan showed how to create a separate DOS environment that would not use
040949 - device drivers, but it would not run in a window, so that is not any
040950 - good.
040951 -
040952 -
040953 - Option 7 is not shown
040954 -
040955 - When we boot out of W95 to DOS and press F8, we are not getting the
040956 - option #7.
