    - Shut down any anti-virus software you are running. If you install Windows 95 on a computer that has a CMOS or system BIOS based anti-virus setting, you will receive an error message and Setup will stop. Consult the hardware documentation for information on system BIOS or CMOS enabled settings such as virus detection.
