I think I already said it fails on PHP and mySQL, you have to find older versions, you have to upgrade your browser and control sets, and you gotta update your desktop in general. There is no possible way you can test it, you could never get your system configured like I have.

And your calling us ignorant. :\

The thing is you will never ever be able to update it. And now company's are trying to upgrade to PHP5 because PHP 4 won't be supported anymore. I don't no weather MyBB 1.4 will be compatible with PHP4.
I knwo the current version of mybb is, and no one says you have to upgrade anything.

and if your serious about trying this, you for sure need this to even get started on 95 now

after that you will have a hope in hell.

I highly reocmmend going into your 95 disc and installing IE4 first which has desktop update. This will maek your system identical to windows 98.



And FYI, why I say you coudl never duplicate me, 2 examples, I actually have msconfig and disck cleanup, shows up in c drive and everything. This what my MS config has too.

Ya but when you have security holes you just can't patch you will be forced to upgrade.

EDIT: Figure it would.
windows 95 has security holes i just can't patch, doesn't bother me in the least Smile.

Linux is open source, how much easier to design a program to destroy a system can you get? lol

Ya but distro creaters patch holes... the best part about using open source is you can fix it right away... no waiting for windows patch.
so what ur saying is if your not C savy and cant patch linux yourself, your screwed?
