I don't know about Thinkpads in particular but in gerneral when
upgrading machines to Win95 you should take note of the following
just before the upgrade/installation:
1. Disable virus checking in startup files, and CMOS setting
2. Remove unnecessary drivers from config.sys & autoexec.bat
3. Scan hard disk for virus
4. Check hard disk for errors, bad sectors
5. (optional) Run a defrag. software on your hard disk
6. Disable power management in CMOS and startup files
Hope it helps.
