Scumbria Off Subject re: <I had a good week at work so far. I've only had to reboot my PII/Windows NT system once (so far.)> You are having much better luck than I am, but then agiain, I am only using a HP P-166 NT4.0R2 system at work. I doubt that I've gone one day without rebooting at least once. On the other hand, My HP/UX system has been OK except for external problems(but It still dosn't save my x-window configurations like the suns do.) tgptndr

Scumbria, re:<I've only had to reboot my PII/Windows NT system once (so far.)> The so-called Win95 OSR2 on K6-2-350+ CPU imcompatibility, according to AMD 1. Does NOT exist with original release of WIN95 or with WIN98 2. Does NOT result in problems once the system is booted, it only occasionally prevents initial booting, it does not cause reboots. 3. Occurs because Microsoft ignored Intel's and AMD's programming advice to avoid timing loops based on instruction execution times. Petz
