Installing the Windows version
You can install the Windows version of the Processor Frequency ID Utility in every version of the Windows operating system except Windows 95 and Windows NT 3.x. For computers running these versions of Windows, you need to use the Bootable version of the Processor Frequency ID utility. To begin the installation, close all open applications, open Windows Explorer, locate the Fidenu21.exe, and double-click on it. You'll then see the Welcome screen for the installation wizard, as shown in Figure B.

Once you peruse the information in the Welcome screen, you can click Next to begin the installation.
The rest of the wizard asks you to accept the software license agreement and to choose the installation destination folder. Once the utility is installed, the last screen of the wizard, shown in Figure C, allows you to choose whether you want to run the utility right away. There's no need to reboot the system.

You can launch the Windows version of theProcessor Frequency ID Utility without rebooting the system.
Installing the Bootable version
Installing the Bootable version of the Processor Frequency ID Utility is also a relatively straightforward procedure. All you need is a regular, formatted floppy disk. Note
Do not create a bootable system disk. If you do, the Processor Frequency ID Utility installation procedure will fail and a message stating that the disk is not empty will appear. To begin, insert the floppy disk into the drive. Then, open a Command/MS-DOS Prompt window, change to the directory containing the Bfid_e16.exe file, and launch the executable file by typing its name at the prompt. When you do, the installation files will be extracted, as shown in Figure D.

Once you run the DOS-based executable, the files will be extracted.
To install the Bootable version of the Processor Frequency ID Utility on your floppy disk, simply type Setup at the prompt. You'll then be prompted to press a key to start the installation procedure. In a few minutes, you'll be informed that the bootable disk is ready, as shown in Figure E.
Figure E
Once the installation is complete, you'll see a message telling you that the disk was created successfully.

HI I have intel inside celeron and I do not know what type of windows it is.I dont know if its windows xp professional because i tried downloading directx 9.0 on my computer and it say that my computer is not signed or something like that. And when i download directx 8.0 it wont work. I have directx 5.1.also when I play downloaded games like nba live 2000 it keep freezing for like 25 seconds.then work again and countinously does it. When I play Grand theft Auto 2 it plays for about 15 seconds then cuts off. So can you email me at Akinola12@aol.com and tell me how to terminate these problems and tell me how to get it my computer signed. Because i just remembered that it doesnt have any sticker on the pc that says windows xp proffesional or windows 2000. All it says is Intel Inside Celeron in the front. If you want to know where i got the computer from was my summer job they gave it to people for free when you finish building the parts back together. Also my floppy disk does not format and nothing is stuck in there. so please thank you for reading and email me how to resolve each an every problem. thank you bye.

I have a intel inside celeron too but I have a sticker on front with designed for microsoft windows Me (millenium)
but I have windows xp installd

Click Start --> Run and type dxdiag
then you can see your windows version and directX

I just have directX 9.0c maybe because I use windows xp ?

or right click on this computer and choose properties and you will see your windows system

and GTA 2 works fine for me
maybe its a broken game?

[If you have any performance/graphics related problems try going to the OPTIONS menu and select VIDEO OPTIONS and reduce your resolution and other 'performance' settings. *NOTE: This game requires DirectX 8.1 or higher to run. If you do not have the latest version of DirectX installed on your system, you may download it from http://www.microsoft.com/directx.]
