Tom, Sean, All... Crashguard complicated my life.

Tom's thought that splitting the work via a two-computer ethernet seems to be working here. I've had the fewest problems since turning over critical functions (TA, real time data collection and real time TA) over to my K6 and the the less critical email, surfing functions to the 5x86 while running WinGate/GateKeeper in the K6 to form a firewall for the 10-base ethernet using stock Windows Networking.

Also I don't run TSR's that wait for new program installing to do their log changes. If I need logging I start Uninstaller manually.

Duplicate drivers are ignored if no problems are appearing. The machine may not be a lean, clean fighting machine, but it never stays stopped. On the rare times when Win95 can't work out a problem and a Ctrl-Alt-Del exit is called for Scandisk takes care of the two normal file system errors and Windows loads again.

Caching of web pages seems to be the root of all evils. The load will creep up now and again requiring a housecleaning in Netscape.

I've reinstalled all important software to a clean HD in the last six months. This provided the single most dramatic improvement in reliability and speed. I expect much ancient excess baggage had been carried over from HD to HD in the last decade.

Also use Win95 OSR2 for last 3 or 4 months.

If only a few seconds transpire between me starting shutdown and the "safe to turn off the computer" message appears I assume the computer is healthy. If that does not shutdown this way, I know something is brewing that ain't Canadian Ale.
