Power is the best crash resistant program. It will never be interrupted by another process. It may be operated by a discrete control that is hardware interrupt bound. The control is on the actual physical interface layer called the case. A single button may be actuated. It is marked "power". Subsequently the entire system ceases to function. Simple effective, and trouble free. So far Microsoft has not found a way to make this program non-functional and it remains the single best cure for many computing ills. EC<:-}

Well, since Windows 98 is closed source there isn't anything anyone can do except Microsoft and they seem to be incapable of making an Operating Conglomerate that doesn't crash. I don't think its possible to write something on top that will keep it from crashing. You can upgrade/downgrade to Windows NT. Its more stable. You can upgrade to a MAC. Or, since you are asking on this thread, I would have to strongly recommend upgrading to Linux. It can go for years without a reboot. You'll have to learn a new world, but when you want something done right you gotta do it yourself. Judd
