Off Topic KEVIN WALSH COMPUTER PROBLEM (sorry but others may like this too!) Hi Kevin! My problem was: Hard Drive crash from overuse of Netscape Prog? Wore a small sector in? (poor words) Fortuinately under warrantee was replaced. solution: With new hard drive, eventually I heard the famhiluar danger sounds from the hard drive. So immediately relocated Netscape to drive (D) FROM (C) sounds dissappeared. Next solution: Will perhaps reinstall netscape on drive (c) however adding a small program first to guarantee the "New Netscape (c)" doesn't end up bit for bit where it used to be! (about 2 weeks ago, I thought the sound was comming back but it stopped for now. It is the drive attempting several times to read a damaged sector, I think. a rather too long reading operation!) **********This Email we got might help in some way Subject: ZDNet Need Help?

This can occur, for example, when you load a third-party version of WINSOCK.DLL: It overwrites the original Winsock file in the \System folder. To restore the original system file, back up your C:\Windows folder and its subfolders, then rerun Win 95's Setup program (SETUP.EXE). When it prompts you to "Restore Windows files that are changed or corrupted," simply click on OK.
