Yep, figured that out :-)

I would _love_ to believe that (it's probably true, as under DOS etc. all 
works fine!)

:-)) Believe me, that was the FIRST thing I tried! I then went across the 
hall to another workstation running Win95, that I hadn't touched since it was 
last working (i.e. no changes I'd "forgotten" about...!) I turned that on, 
and it exhibited EXACTLY the same problems!! :-( Only a complete power-down 
of the server cured it. But don't ask me why..!! :-(
