Tom -- why not just go back to WIN95? (The analogy would be Transpoint customers going back to paper checks.) ;-)

<OT> I don't know if this is an option, but Windows NT is a much more stable operating system. If there is any chance that you can switch to it, it is well worth the extra $$$$$ for it. I think it retails for about $250-$300. I do alot of server programming and although NT is far from perfect, I can run it for several weeks before having to reboot. And more often than not, it has to be rebooted because of my program or a rogue application (MS Visual Studio is notorious for leaking system resources) and not NT. I think in the past year I've only had NT do a hard crash (i.e. CTL-ALT-DEL does not work) about a dozen times. -tk ps. I should add that everything that runs on Windows9x does not necessarily run on Windows NT. For example, there are some HP printers that are Windows9x only.
