Hi mr.mark

<<isn't it odd how a system will go along behaving so well
for so long, then rear its ugly head and suddenly you're in a
horror movie!

Happened to me. Crusing along with win95, nscp4.5 on old (486)
everything going smoothly. Last week the monitor wouldn't turn on.
Had it checked, it's OK. Now monitor works, computer comes on, post, and for a moment the win95 window appears then screen goes to black with message HIMEM.SYS is not in windows directory. It is there, also in C:\, and in windows\system. Tried a win95 boot disk, same thing.
found win95 directory is empty except ARTISOFT.DOC, w/5,687kb. The cd directory has MKECR5XX.SYS and MSCDEX.EXE.

Trying to re-install win95 but computer says it cannot find CDROM.
I haven't touched the CD cables or even been inside the box.

Thanks, Anyone?

Regards, /jw
