Re: Windows 95 Protection Error
Now that your Hardening Problem is solved, this is a new issue, therefore a new thread.
We need to see a complete VBox.log, from a complete VM run:
We need to see a complete VBox.log, from a complete VM run:
- Start the VM from cold-boot (not from a paused or saved state) / Observe problem / Shutdown the VM (force close it if you have to).
- With the VM completely shut down (not paused or saved), right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager and select "Show Log".
- Save only the first "VBox.log", ZIP it and attach it to your response. See the "Upload attachment" tab below the reply form.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
Do NOT reply with the "QUOTE" button, please use the "POST REPLY", at the bottom of the form.
If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.

Re: Windows 95 Protection Error
I got the same error while installing Windows 95 on a VM. Thing called "Win95CPUFix" removed this. Here's the link: https://msfn.org/board/topic/141402-win ... it-broken/.

Re: Windows 95 Protection Error
Did you configure the memory manager correctly in the underlying DOS? Please post the contents of the CONFIG.SYS file from the VM boot directory.

Re: Windows 95 Protection Error
Not possible (with accuracy) until you provide the file I asked for in my previous post.
Here is what my CONFIG.SYS looks like (actually for a DOS 7 aka Win98 VM). Yours should be similar.
And an AUTOEXEC.BAT file to go with it.
This assumes that you copied all the DOS tools into a directory C:\DOS, including the OAK CDROM device driver.
I will not answer many questions about this: you should be able to find plenty of online resources about configuring DOS.

Code: Select all
device=c:\dos\himem.sys
dos=high,umb
device=c:\dos\emm386.exe NOEMS
devicehigh=c:\dos\oakcdrom.sys /D:CD001
files=30
stacks=0,0
buffers=20
lastdrive=Z
Code: Select all
@echo off
path=c:\dos
lh c:\dos\mscdex /D:CD001
prompt $p$g

Re: Windows 95 Protection Error
Do you have the same problem as the OP? You are booting from a floppy, so I wouldn't think so.
The method of patching Win95 to work on modern CPUs (thus fixing the Protection Error) is discussed in the Windows Guests FAQ: viewtopic.php?f=28&t=9918#p422192, in addition to the links given above.
