Try going to the shutdown menu for Win95. Select restart in Msdos mode.
Once the system gives you the dos prompt, try hbdl again.

19200, 38700, blah blah blah...

> if neither of those work... jump into your bios and slow down your isa
clock... the isa clock is usually 1/3 the pci speed.. (33/3=11) if you have
serial or modem trouble... it could be that your serial controller is
getting flooded... this shouldn't happen in normal cases, but slowing it
down to 1/4 (33/4=8.25) this is also a common problem if you use faster bus
speeds to over clock your computer.. example... my mother board has a 75mhs
bus speed feature... pci speed = 1/2 bus speed (37.5) isa speed is
(37.5/3=12.??) isa is more prone to crashing from over clocking than pci...
but just take a look at what you're runnng on isa... serial ports...
parallel ports... modems, sound cards... nothing really power intensive (if
yer still running video on a pentium with an isa video card.. you should be
shot!)

> i speak from experience... i was getting ZIP for bandwidth when i first
got on the internet with this machine.. (p188, 75mhz bus speed) i bugged
the guys at deepwell, i used 4 different operating systems to try and see
if it was my nt 4 screwing up again.. i busted out a couple old modems i
have lying around.. i finally tried using my roommate's computer... it
worked fine... with all of my modems... that lead me to the serial port
problem.... fixed it... everything was peachy...

> if you have a 166 for sure... you may have one of the new mother boards
with the funky fresh 83 mhz bus speed... (83*2=166) this may be the cause
of the problem... the solution maybe the isa clock thing, or you may have
to reconfigure the jumpers to 66mhs bus with the 2.5 clock multiplyer
(66*2.5=166)
