(Help from all welcome)

Just put a new motherboard/CPU in my kids machine, running Win95 OSR2.

Hardware appears good, but Win gives following message on boot:
While initializing Device IOS:
Window protection error.

Can boot in safe mode.
How can I get windows running short of a reformat and reload of C: ?
Previous attempts to reload windows seem to indicate it looks at existing config

I had a similar problem a couple months ago after borrowing a motherboard to put in a critical machine whose MB died. When I returned the MB to its original machine, Win (Win98 in this case) got similarly confused. Got it running but
not fixed.

Will provide any additional info needed.
