SUMMARY
=======
Certain terminate-and-stay-resident programs (TSRs) and device drivers are known
to cause problems with Windows 95 Setup. These are classified as "dirty" or
"deadly" TSRs.
MORE INFORMATION
================
"Dirty" TSRs or device drivers are known to cause problems in Setup, but not
necessarily to cause it to stop responding (hang). If Setup detects a dirty TSR
or device driver, it warns you that there may be problems and recommends that
you disable the TSR or device driver before you continue. You can often continue
Setup without disabling the TSR or device driver.
"Deadly" TSRs or device drivers are known to cause Setup to hang. If Setup
detects a deadly TSR or device driver, Setup stops and instructs you to disable
the TSR or device driver, restart your computer, and then run Setup again. You
cannot continue until the TSR or device driver is disabled.
The following tables list known dirty and deadly TSRs and device drivers that are
detected by Setup:
