Compaq does not officially support the Microsoft Windows 95 operating system on the

.

.

.

Compaq Evo Desktop Family of personal computers. However, Compaq recognizes that

.

.

.

.

some customers have custom or proprietary software images based upon the Windows 95

.

.

.

operating system. Compaq has provided this document to assist those customers who

.

.

.

wish to purchase Evo systems and continue to deploy their Windows 95-based software.

.

.

.

.

This paper provides test results for devices tested with Evo Desktop D300 and D500

.

.

.

.

Convertible Minitower, Desktop, and Small Form Factor models equipped with the Intel

.

.

.

Pentium 4 processor, and outlines the necessary steps and files required to allow these

.

.

.

Evo computer systems to function with Microsoft Windows 95.
