windows protection error...

[JasonS]

After I load in Dial Up Networking and reboot the computer I get a screen that just says windows protection error, you need to restart your computer. And I can only start in safe mode but it is fine after I uninstall DUN . Anyone have any Ideas??<br>
<br>
I have a 486 toshiba laptop running win95.<br>
<br>
Thanks <br>

I assume this is the same laptop (without CD or network connection) you referred to in an earlier message <br>
thread. If so, you got the Windows CAB files from another PC. Two possibilities to check are:<br>
1) the CAB files were not corrupted when transfered to diskette or other.<br>
2) VERY IMPORTANT: Check the exact version of 95 on each PC by right clicking on My Computer and going<br>
to properties. Make sure they are EXACTLY the same. Mixing Windows 95a release files with b release files<br>
creates all sorts of problems.<br>
Also, from safe mode, go to the network properties (through control panel) and note all the settings and include them in a subsequent e-mail.

I accually found the cab files on the system itself<br>
so they are all from the same version that is loaded on the computer so I don't know what else it could be HOW about memory she does not have very much of that left at all<br>
<br>
Help me please<br>
<br>
thanks

Window Protection Error:<br>
<br>
NORTON UTILITIES<br>
CRASHING THE SYSTEM and Y2K TESTING RESULT<br>
<br>
Don’t panic; first and foremost<br>
<br>
Error message at the top of the screen:<br>
<br>
"While initializing device IOS:<br>
Window protection error<br>
You need to restart your computer"<br>
<br>
Reboot computer in ‘safe mode’<br>
Go to Explorer<br>
<br>
Rename the following files:<br>
<br>
C:\windows\smartdrv.exe to smartdrive.old<br>
C:\autoexec.bat to autoexec.old<br>
C:\config.sys to config.old<br>
<br>
Reboot the computer and your network signon should come up; the above files should be replaced and by ok<br>
<br>
Go back into explore and do a ‘find’ for any files with ‘nu’ in them dated for the date your installed Norton Utilities. Delete these from your system. IF YOU HAVE NORTON ON YOUR SYSTEM; IF NOT, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.<br>
<br>
Reboot and all should be well; hopefully.<br>

Go to microsoft.com and download DUN 1.3 and try installing that. That's the latest upgrade and should work with any version of 95.
