WinPatrol is a program designed for Windows 98. If you're running Win95, you'll need to download MSasrdk.exe. This one time download. MSasrdk is a kind of self extracting EXE which installs a number of standard components into the Windows System directory. These components are updates to the typical Win95 machine and have become standard in Win98.

Running MSaardk.exe will install those files only if the version number on your machine is lower. A new directory \Windows\System\MSAABAK will be created and copies of your current files will be stored there for safe keeping. While you should not experience any compatibility problems, the files will provide you a way to back this install out. See the Readme.txt file which is installed in the MSAABAK directory for more into.
