NETMEDIC ALERT - I bit the bullet and called MS about the browser problem and they identified the problem as Netmedic in one of their bulletins....I installed it yesterday and hadn't even turned it on but, unless they have a new version out, it is NOT compatible with Win98 and will interfer with IE4.0 in this setup....you'll see an error message that says "an internal problem occurred in the MS Explorer extensions". MS directed me to a patch available at Vitalsigns and it fixed the problem. So Netmedic users beware! (Unfortunately, however, this did not fix the problem I'm having with Mytrack.) DB

Sean bout 6 phone calls actually. MS support is not cheap nor is it very good... I'm going to take my chances, and buy OEM. I always seem to get more help from fellow users than from offical support channels. Clarence

To anyone on this thread, I wonder if someone has insight into this monitor problem? About two years ago I got a P166 system with a 15 inch monitor made by a company called Proton. Recently I upgraded to Win 98, installed two ATI Expert 98 PCI cards and added a 19 Viewsonic monitor. Everything went fine for about a week, then the Proton went black, dead tube, nothing. It was under warranty and they sent me another one(this was taken care of by the little neighborhood computer shop where I got the system. Nice people). The new monitor worked fine for several hours one night and for about an hour the next morning. Then it to went black. Now they are going to send me another monitor. The question is, is it possible that the monitor is not at fault but maybe there is a bad video card that is trashing the monitor or something of that nature. I don't want to lose another monitor. I am sure they would balk at sending me a third replacement. Any ideas? Thanks Bob
