No difference other than the full version doesn't require a previous
version of Windows and costs about $100 more. Your problems may be helped
if you do a clean install of Windows 95. Delete all files from old Windows
and then have disk 1 of old Windows ready when the Windows 95 upgrade
install asks for it. It will briefly verify you have a previous version
and then complete the install. Then reinstall all Windows and DOS
applications. I am very satisfied with Windows 95 and have been running it
for 17 months with very few problems. I can't think of more than a handful
of old programs that failed to run under Windows 95.
