OK, I tried and it just rebooted again. This is the config file I was
using:

#!/usr/local/lib/vmware/bin/vmware
config.version = 2

# No cdrom installed


# Disk Drive Info
# scsi0:0.present = TRUE
# scsi0:0.deviceType = "plainDisk"
# scsi0:0.fileName = "win95.hba"
# scsi0.present = TRUE

# No floppy installed

# floppy0.present = FALSE

# No networking installed

# Memory size
memsize = 32

# Nvram
nvram = /usr/marko/.vmware/win95/win95.nvram

# Log file
log.fileName = /usr/marko/.vmware/win95/win95.log

# Hints
guestOS = win95


Is the win95.nvram file supposed to exist? I haven't got one on my
system/

It's a K6-233 (original K6, not a -2 or -3)
Gigabyte 430TX based motherboard, Award 4.51-PGM BIOS
64MB RAM
2 x 4.5GB IBM UW-SCSI on a Diamond Fireport 40 (Symbios 53c875j chip)
controller.

  If I buy a copy of WinDelete, and it doesn't delete Windows,
  am I entitled to my money back?
