SYMPTOMS
Windows 95 does not recognize your machine as a Plug and Play computer even
though you receive a message during startup that states:
Intel PnP BIOS Extensions Installed
CAUSE
Intel has developed some motherboards that are equipped with a Plug and
Play BIOS that does not contain the run-time services necessary to
configure motherboard devices.
An example of such a motherboard is the Intel P5/90. Gateway, and possibly
other original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), ship computers with the
P5/90 motherboard.
RESOLUTION
Consult your hardware vendor about upgrading your system BIOS to comply
with the Plug and Play BIOS version 1.0a specification.
