I'm somewhat doubtful about Win95 working *at all* on a machine with that much RAM. At the very least, I think you'll have to override the default DPMI memory settings of the DOS box. > When I try to run programs in this mode I get a 'no dpmi' error. It's unclear what system your "win95 diskette" actually booted, making it hard to interpret this. Win95 itself doesn't actually fit on a diskette, so: did that disk just boot a Win95 you had installed on the hard disk, or is it actually just DOS7 booting off a floppy? In the latter case, you obviously can't have any DPMI --- there's no DPMI server running.
