PMS Witch--I'm glad I got you on a good day.<gg> Thanks for offering your advice. Unfortunately I only have one group. I actually know what I have "under the hood"--all my pals e-mail address that I can access anytime I want-- but I just can't see their names. Am I being clear? Myron

hi pw, thanks for all the help you provide for people on this thread. here is a y2k compliance test from pc magazine. cgi.zdnet.com if you're running win95 or 98 you can use this test to check whether your system's bios and clock are compliant. it will not work on windows nt or any other operating systems. :) mark

Hey Everybody: I got me a new toy: A while ago I zipped my Windows folder (from my Win98 install) onto a backup drive (as per PW's suggestion). Later, as you know, I had troubles with ie5 and found out I couldn't uninstall it. So, I remembered I have that earlier version of my Windows from before I messed up ie5 (messed it up by deleting the files in the Temporary Internet folder). I booted to my Win95 disk, deleted the Windows folder on my Win98 disk, and replaced it with the zipped copy. Booted to my Win98 disk and voila!! I used Zip Assistant 4.0 -- it's free. Took about 5 minutes each way to zip and unzip. Poor man's Drive Image. Still have an un-uninstallable ie5, but at least it works right... Thanks for the idea PW -- wily
