David, Redo the Win95 setup only this time do not keep newer files. You must get your system back to working on all the same revision files first. Then, do a thorough error checking with auto fix. This is found in the properties of the C: drive in My Computer. See my previous post: #2052 on this procedure. Once this is done, goto Microsoft's page for Win95 Service Pack 1 and install the Service Pack. The newer files you are encountering are probably updated files that the older version Win95 can't handle. Hope this helps. Regards, Gregg

Like Gregg mentioned, run the Windows 95 setup again, and let the program over-write the existing (newer) files. Although the Service Pack from Microsoft may help, some of your existing programs may no longer function correctly. Since the information you have on your system is already backed up, you might as well bypass trying to troubleshoot your way around the problem and just do a clean re-install. Will probably take alot less time. Clear the drive, and start from scratch. Up to you. Richard P.S. The .VXD files are 32 bit protected mode drivers, and considering how many an which ones are being displayed, it would surprise me very much if your system and applications run like they should by over-writing with the older version. IMHO
