Well, the C:\ error just means that your ( or one of your ) disk drives is full and you need to either clean some files off it or get a bigger or an extra disk drive. The Fatal Exception error probably means that a program tried to use some memory that was already being used. The two errors might be connected. So, first thing I'd do is clean up my C drive and see if it happens again. I occasionally get fatal exception errors when I'm using AOL. It just means that the program tried to do something it's not allowed. It's a pain, but all I have to do is start up AOL again. <<PS. i disagree that all the other "bad dates" have had no effect on us. >> Do you have some examples? I haven't seen any. I don't have solar panels. I guess I was temporarily concerned, but now I really don't believe Y2K is going to be a big deal in my daily life. Maybe, I'm wrong. I guess we'll see soon!
