I'm trying to install OEM SR 2.1: Windows 95B in Qemu...  How do I figure out which brand of CD-ROM drive Qemu emulates since I have three different drive specific boot disks...?

Not exactly...; all MS produced Win9X/ME install CDs are ISO-9660 & maybe even Joliet too...  The really confusing part is that not all Windows 98 SE full install CDs are even bootable in the first place (they tend to only ship one if the PC is capable of booting directly from its optical drive...; the vast majority of PCs have to use the chain loading method due to buggy, poorly written, outdated BIOSes...; etc.).  OEM SR 2.1/Windows 95B is really quite special & innovative for its time in that it was the first Service Release of Windows 95 to support larger HDs via FAT32 which back then was still brand new: i.e.: exciting technology & it still has proven to be quite useful & versatile since most flash memory storage devices come pre-formatted FAT32.
There's also a hidden X:\Usbsupp folder on the CD that contains the MS USB 1.1 supplement patches/upgrader: a common mis-nomer is that you don't need to install it unless your PC has USB 1.1 ports.  Even without USB 1.1 ports the upgrades to C:\Windows\system make it a lot less buggy, more secure & stable.  For anyone else that enjoys emulating OEM SR 2.1 there's also a great unofficial SP 1 for it which has so many useful patches in it I'm considering integrating it into all of my install CDs... 
Unfortunately I've found that getting it to run decently requires tracking down a bevy of essential but according to MS's not releasing them in patch form optional DLL upgrades...  I guess not all machines are that unreliable but better to have them...; just in case you encounter a PC with a buggy BIOS that has hardware coniptions and/or ACPI/APM bugs.

  • Trying to install iTunes 12.1 for Windows 8.1 (64-bit) and get Itunes error HRESULT: 0x800736B3

    Hello,
    I am Trying to install iTunes 12.1 for Windows 8.1 (64-bit) and I get an Itunes window with an error that says:
    An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT,type="win32",version'8.0.50727.6195",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3 b9a1e18e3b"processorArchitecture="amd64". Please refer to help and Support for more information.HRESULT: 0x800736B3
    I already:
    - Uninstalled all old Itunes versions.
    - Tried a clean reboot to install the new version,
    - Installed the security update’ Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package ATL Security Update’
    But I still get the same error.
    Can someone help?
    Thanks!

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you still have trouble you might consider installing the alternate version iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards) where you can download a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of iTunes that works with older video cards. This version may also be useful for anyone who is unable to get the 64-bit version of Apple Application Support to install when using the itunes6464setup file, or has trouble with playback of certain video files despite having QuickTime installed.

    Hi,
    How do you connect the printer to the XP machine ? If USB, you need to make that machine as a Print server. Please try this:

  • Trying to install itunes but keep getting windows error126 message and libicuin.dll missing

    trying to install itunes but keep getting windows error 126 message and libicuin.dll missing have reinstalled numerous times and keep getting same messages.

    Are you saving the installer first and then installing, or are you running the installer directly from Apple's website? Also save first.
    If you're saving first and still having issues, try and use Microsoft's Cleanup Utility and then reinstall Quicktime/iTunes:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
    Make sure it's a new and fresh download from:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If not mentioned in the articles, make a new user account in Windows and see if iTunes opens. That will tell you if there's something funky in your main account (if the new user works), or if you have a system-wide issue.

  • Trying to install Adobe CC on new Windows 8.1 keeps signing me out

    Trying to install Adobe CC on new Windows 8.1 - as soon as Creative Cloud Desktop App launches - it says I am signed out.  That is as far as I get.
    I have looked up the trouble shooting tips on Adobe and have tried them all.

    I am not sure what you mean by software title?  "Creative Cloud Desktop App" - "Internet Explorer"
    Literally a brand new laptop from HP - HP Envy i7 processor -- bought last Monday and Adobe products were the first I needed -  so whatever defaults HP put on it ~
    Not sure if there was another "firewall" with software or with Comcast that was doing it but I turned off two firewalls, even turned off Anti-virus trying to get it to work.
    I teach CS and Adobe Products so believe me when I say - I was very resourceful and refusing to give up but almost took the computer back.  I now have to explain this to my students as they are experiencing the same difficulties but lack some of the computer experience to even find all the resources to install.  It just shouldn't be this hard.
    Every semester my students say they have to get hold of an Adobe rep to get it installed.

  • Trying to install Adobe 10Pro on new Windows 8.1 computer.  downloaded installer by it will not recognize my product key

    Trying to install Adobe 10Pro on new Windows 8.1 computer.  downloaded installer by it will not recognize my product key

    Adding to what Pat has mentioned, I can also see that you have the serial number for both Mac & Windows. I hope you are using the correct key for the platform where in you are installing the product as that could be the only reason. Please check the keys once again and use the correct one and that should solve the concern.

  • I just tried to install iLife '11. I was informed that I was using an "invalid certificate" which had expired March 22, 2012. Where do I go from here?

    I just tried to install iLife '11. I was informed that I was using an "invalid certificate" which had expired March 22, 2012. Where do I go from here?

    iLife installation went fine, and I can see some useful changes in my iPhoto software. There is a small mystery however: despite the visible changes, the software still describes itself as v.8.1.2. Since I see no problem I am not going to go chasing one, but then I think you may see something I don't. Am I OK or is there something else I need to do?

  • My iTunes is no longer working.  I uninstalled and reinstalled but the program won't open and run.  I was trying to download an mp3 file last evening and I think something has been deleted that I need to open the iTunes.  How do i figure out what is gone

    I uninstalled and reinstalled but the program still won't open.  I was trying to download an mp3 file last evening.  Instead the site tried to install a new audio player.  I did not want it so uninstalled it immediately.  I think in that process something was deleted that I need for iTunes but I do not know what.  How do i figure out what is gone and recover it?
    I did try a system restore - but that was not a fix either.
