I created a VM and installed Win95 on it. All went well until the first reboot after install, when I got an error "While initializing device IOS: Windows protection error. You need to restart your computer"
It seems that this is because the CPU speed in modern PCs is too fast for Win95, and due to a bug, it crashes.
There are various fixes around, but as far as I can see, they all require you to be in Win95 to apply them. I found this post, which has a link to a zip with some .exe files that supposedly patch Windows to fix the issue, but they can't be run from DOS, and I can't stat Win95 to run them from there.
Is it possible to set the VM's CPU speed, which would allow me to get Win95 running? I can't see any options for this.
Thanks for any help you can give.
