MORE INFORMATION

Windows 95 Setup does not attempt to detect the network adapter when there are no available IRQs.

If you install the network adapter in the computer and there are no available IRQs, you can run Windows 95 only in Safe mode. After you start Windows 95 in Safe mode, you can disable the network adapter and then run Windows 95 normally. Network support is disabled in this configuration.
