Wow dude that's just.... some massive fail. Despite BA being hosted on some of the cheapest bandwidth around in the seedbox users' choice of datacenter (OVH), it spits that out when a referrer is sent.
I'm going to take a stab in the dark and assume it's after you have installed it and it's restarted for the first time, etc. If so it's because Win95 is not designed for anything remotely faster than a P2 maybe a P3.
I forget exactly but back in the day depending on which version you were running it wouldn't run on anything above 350Mhz, until they released a patch. Now I think OSR 2.1 and 2.5 can and that's where I remember running them on P2's and 3's but still a modern system running in the 1Ghz + range tends to equal that particular fail as far as I remember. I don't know if anyone ever coded a fix for it for Virtual PC, I think VMware runs it just fine, can anyone who sues that confirm this? and the older versions of VirtualBox ran it pretty good as well.
OSR 13, I assume that's meant to mean 1.3 and as far as official release go that doesn't exist. But yes it's the error once installed, It may boot into safe mode but I can't remember fully if it does. Not much of a fix, I think VPC 2004 used to do it as well. If your system was to modern.

Virtual pc 2004 Does not Work in windows 7
EDIT: OSR13 was another virtual machine becuase i alerdy have a OSR1 VM but it wont work so i named the second OSR13
I don't know about OSR 1 but I know 2.5 works great on vmware workstation. I haven't tried in VirtualBox.
VirtualBox is sort of becoming the de facto standard for virtualization on the desktop. At least, that's what it seems like to me. Servers are a whole other story.
Regarding the actual topic, yeah, try OSR 2.5. VirtualBox is an effective virtualization program, I've gotten it to run Win2K and XP before successfully.
VMware is a leader in virtualization technologies. You probably browse websites running in VMs powered by ESX / ESXi.
As to viruses in VMs infecting the host OS, it's unlikely. Not impossible though. There are hypervisor exploits and of course, run of the mill worms that can spread through your network if proper precautions aren't taken.
Wait your going to try virtualisaton software inside virtual machines? that defeats the point. Just install and use Virtual Box on the host OS. I've never had any problems with it at all, especially if you get the install from their own website.
Actually I have this kind of error on my Intel i3 330M laptop. Perhaps it's too new for installing it. Try again on an older PC, or use QEMU to emulate one.
PlyrStar93: In a VM, or on the physical hardware directly? If the latter is the case, you were right, I wouldn't try running it on that... if you want a computer to run Win9x on, they aren't very hard to find, maybe check a local dumpster :P
Help when i install windows 95 on windows virtual pc for windows 7 it says Windows protection error
Something is obviously wrong with the time measuring scheme in Windows 95's I/O subset. It's measuring the times it takes for protected-mode drivers to load, as so it should warn when drivers seem to be not responding, in milliseconds, but most computers manufactured after 1998 take less than 1 millisecond to load each of the drivers, therefore the I/O subset would get the measurement of 0 milliseconds to load and try to divide a number by that number 0, but since that is not possible, a "Windows protection error" is displayed.
However, Windows Virtual PC still runs programs as fast as the PC you are running it on would run them, there's no option for Windows Virtual PC to emulate an older, slower computer. Maybe you can try Windows 95 in other x86 emulators. If that doesn't work, try using Windows NT 4.0, the closest relative to Windows 95 that still works well on today's PCs, in Windows Virtual PC. However, if you really need to explore Windows 95, try using LoneCrusador's Windows 95 IOS/NDIS patcher DOS tool.
*EDIT it works now i uninstalled virtual pc win 7 and i made a new vm it works fine but the setup didnt suceed
and it does not say windows protection error

(protip: add more details, how do we replicate this, give further details on the error, screenshots are best)
#2 Darn my screen shots can't be shown -_-
#3 Ok The Guest Was Me i forgot about the username
#4 http://www.betaarchive.com/imageupload/ ... .25318.png That was the screenshot
#5 http://www.betaarchive.com/imageupload/ ... .25318.png this might work idk how to upload screenshots

Your answer is as tox said: http://goput.it

#2 I Use Virtual Box 3.1.6 Will That Work?
#3 darn i forgot Username again
#4 Ok i Resguiterd
* AlienEdit - *facepalm*
I hope you cleaned up afterward. :shock:

Fair enough, virtual box is the preferred method these days for win9x from what most people say.

I can only describe you as a fucking idiot.
That is all.
Oh and im using windows 7 home x64
problem solved
