Hi Jeff,
GH>  I also had to re-install Win95 about once every week, while NT has been
GH>  running since august 1996 now, and I didn't have to re-install it since
GH>  then.
JG>  You're the exception rather than the rule.  I have run both extensively 
JG>  on the same systems with no more problems in one than the other (just
JG>  different problems).
Hhhmmmm... Well, it's possible to run Win95 without too much trouble, but 
then one shouldn't mess too much with 'advanced'-settings. Since I'm such a 
user who's constantly changing his software-cfg, I couldn't run 95 because of 
the MANY hangs it had. That's the main reason why I switched to NT.
JG> If you really had that much trouble, it would be worthwhile 
JG> 1) finding out what the real cause was or
JG> 2) replace the hardware.
The real cause was that 95 didn't allow me to change ANYTHING to my cfg 
without hanging. Each time I changed an option it crashed (and I mean EACH 
time). There was no hardware failure... at least NT doesn't report any (and 
I'm experiencing no trouble under DOS neither).
JG>  Since each uses it differently (different drivers, if nothing else),
JG>  what works in one OS may not in another...
True, but since NT doesn't give any problems, I'll stick with it for now.
Bye!
