Somehow I have never faced this problem. I have had the dreaded blue screen from time to time, like the little round bomb with a fuse on the Macs it means time for the hammer to the brain. When I set up a network it seems to go quite automativally. I have had problems with a program called Winbridge on occasion when I try to make a group access the internet from a peer on a phone line. But after a whiel you figure it out. These things an Apple does more automatically I agree. The first win 95 back in 95 was worse, now the win95 C version is faster and crashes a lot less, machines go months or longer and do not crash, constantly one. The win 95 original seemed to never go more than 1-2 weeks before they got really slow and had to be rebooted. Those win 95 you turn off at days end and on in the AM run fine day after day. The reset seems to get rid of any accumulation on the system that slow it down. There would ne be million running if they had big problems. Bill
