Shaquapa-

Yes, I used realtick and W95, no problems too, until I started to run some other programs along side it, and then ran into memory problems. The computer slowed down, then stopped, I couldn't quit programs, ended up crashing, rebooting, etc. multiple times. I figured that I was having memory problems, so I went from 64mgs to 128 mgs of ram, guess what? Same exact symptoms! So something is fishy with W95 and memory management from what I can see, and this has been confirmed by other people that I have discussed the problem with. I have had no trouble since moving to NT, and if there is a problem with a particular program, I can quit that specific program and get back to the desktop without crashing the whole computer. Much better situation than previously.
