  • Can it be used with games intended for Windows 95?
  • It depends on the game. In general, considering all of the games produced during the 95 period it would be "hit or miss".

    Several considerations are that NT 4 did not get the same later versions of DirectX as Windows 95, and many games produced during the 95 period were actually still DOS games.

    The more well-written Win32 based games took both 95 and NT 3.51/4.0 in to consideration.

    Keep in mind that 3D OpenGL games that supported NT 4 required an NT compatible and sufficiently powerful video card. Some video cards only provided 9x drivers, or drivers differed in capability.
  • Activate plug and play device detection in Windows NT4:
    1- Locate the Pnpisa.inf file in the Drvlib\Pnpisa\ folder (ex. x86) on the Windows NT 4.0 CD-ROM.
    2- Right-click the Pnpisa.inf file, and then click Install on the menu that appears.
    3- Restart your computer.

    @SomeGuy I get it, so I better try Windows 95 or 98.
  • Also getting a virus warning on the Server ISO (Trojan:Win32/Vigorf.A). A quick search seems this comes up with lots of different AV tools and different ISOs.

  • "Can anyone explain...??"

    Yes. I can. In fact, exercise a little critical thinking, and you can explain yourself. The comment immediately before yours gives the all important clue. Then, if you actually LOOK at the archive, you will see the ISO is dated from 2014.

    And then you might ask yourself: "hmm is it reasonable to expect, that a file that has been archived for 11 years only now should be infected, and that I am the first to be aware of that?"
