| 148560 | 2003-05-30 06:01:00 | Over the last couple of weeks I have been trying to get a mates old PC running, I have reformatted and installed his version of Win 95. The problem I have is it has an old version of Win 95 ( a I think ) which installs a version of IE Explorer which is listed as version 2 (4.40.516 ) and also MS exchange mail version 4.0.410.87. As this is a old 100 mhz 1 gig 32 of ram PC I want to install say IE 5 or at the most 5.5, if I install a later version will it install over the old version or will it leave the old and install an other version along side IE 4.4 and leave old mail and install another as well. The reason I am wondering is when I first got the PC it had IE 5.5 sp1 showing in add and remove and this old Explorer on the desktop still working, it seemed to have two Explorer installed and only exchange mail for e mail, I hope someone can understand this and can point me in the right direction, Thanks for any input, John r. |

| 148561 | 2003-05-30 06:33:00 | Windows 95 did not come with Internet Explorer (except with "Microsoft Plus!") . What I do for mine is install an old version, 5 . 01, of Internet Explorer that I have from a PC World disk and then install IE 5 . 5 over the top of that . This works fine . In your situation I would think that installing 5 . 5 over a 4 . x version may cause problems, but am not too sure on that . It might be a good idea to see if you can find a 5 . 01 to install over the 4 . x before upgrading to 5 . 5 . |

| 148562 | 2003-05-30 06:44:00 | Patch 95 as much as you can, there was an SP1 or something along those lines if your version doesn't have 95B or SP1 behind it (right click my computer and look at properties) you should apply the patches. By memory you need to install IE ver 4. before applying any later ver for active desktop. HTH Murray P |

| 148564 | 2003-05-30 08:03:00 | old win95 came out with ie4..don't ask me what ver came out with what ver of 95. you can saftly install 5.5 straight over the top, or you can remove IE4 and disable the intergration before installing IE. |

| 148565 | 2003-05-30 08:41:00 | Windows 95B OEM came with IE 3, Windows 95C had IE 4, and there were numerous updates, 2 service packs, Microsoft Plus for Win95A etc. IE4 was the integrated version, which if uninstalled will put you back to IE3. IE 5.5 SP1 can be installed on both Win95B and Win95C directly with no problems, cant tell you about Win95A. IE5.5 SP2 is no longer available from MS for download, and was never on any free magazine CDs, SP1 can be found on older PC World CDs about year 2000 or 2001 |

| 148566 | 2003-05-30 08:52:00 | thanks Terry, you seem to be into 95, have downloaded Explorer 5.5 without outlook express, all went ok. | john r (782) | ||
| 148567 | 2003-05-30 09:17:00 | Thats good-oh John. I still run win95B on one older computer. The big problem now is getting updates. Quite a few win98 utilities will run on Win95, and also the windows ME defrag. | Terry Porritt (14) | ||
| 148568 | 2003-05-30 09:26:00 | Yes, Terry 95 still has a place in our older PCs, I have looked at how much hard drive I have used, I think I will add outlook express to give a good look. John. |

| 148569 | 2003-05-30 09:35:00 | Foxmail 2.1 would be much better for Win95, and it will only take up a fraction of the space OE will. It can still be downloaded from various freeware sites, this is one: here (www.answersthatwork.com) |
