WHICH 9x/ME VERSION/BUILD ARE YOU USING?

FYI:
• Click the Start button ➜ click the Run... box ➜ type WINVER ➜ press Enter or click OK to determine your Windows OS version.
• My Windows 95 ➜ 98 ➜ ME Complete Specs.
• MSKB: How to Determine the Version of Windows 95/98/ME.
• MSKB: How to determine the Version of 32-bit Windows.
• Microsoft Windows versions.

1. To determine EXACTLY which version of Windows 95, 98 or ME you are using:
   1. With Windows 95/98/ME GUI started:
      1. Right-click on your "My Computer" desktop icon.
      2. Left-click on Properties.
      3. Select the General tab.
      If it says (example):
      System:
      Microsoft Windows 95
      4.00.950 B
      you are running Windows 95B OSR 2.0 or 2.1 [4.00.950 B].

   2. Or type this command at any DOS prompt:
      VER
      and press Enter.
      It should return a message like this (example):
      Windows 95. [Windows 4.00.1111]
      This means your OS is Windows 95B OSR 2.0 or 2.1 [4.00.950 B] or Windows 95C OSR 2.5 [4.00.950 C], which run both on top of MS-DOS version 7.10.
   

2. To determine your KERNEL32.DLL build follow these steps:
   1. Open Windows Explorer.
   2. Right-click on KERNEL32.DLL (located in your C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM subfolder).
   3. Left-click on Properties.
