# Help & Commonly Asked Questions
## MS-DOS seems to mess up the screen
Hit `Alt + Enter` to make the command screen "Full Screen" (as far as Windows 95 is
2018-08-27 19:29:15 +02:00
concerned). This should restore the display from the garbled mess you see and allow
you to access the Command Prompt. Press Alt-Enter again to leave Full Screen and go
back to Window Mode. (Thanks to @DisplacedGamers for that wisdom)

## Windows 95 is stuck in a bad state

On the app's home screen, select "Settings" in the lower menu. Then, delete your
machine's state before starting it again - this time hopefully without issues.

## I want to install additional apps or games
If you are running macOS, or Linux, you can probably "mount" the
2019-08-24 17:03:56 +02:00
virtual hard drive used by `windows95` to add files. Hit the "Modify C: Drive"
button, which will take you to the disk image.
On macOS, double-click the disk image to open it.
On Windows 10, Windows will _think_ that it can open up the image, but will
2019-08-24 17:03:56 +02:00
actually fail to do so. Use a tool [like OSFMount][osfmount] to mount your
disk image.
2018-08-27 17:20:51 +02:00
On Linux, search the Internet for instructions on how to mount an `img` disk
image on your distribution. It's likely that you'll be able to run `mount`
with the image as input.
