Reformat your hard drive,  then re-install Win95. Save yourself 4 to 7 hours
of frustration trying to track down the causes of corruption and/or
inconsistencies present in your existing system which interfere with the
proper operation of your new MB. In fact, try to develop a protocol where you
reformat and reinstall on a regular basis. You will amaze yourself on how
well your system will operate while your exposure to viruses and data loss
due to component failure are reduced significantly.
