The problem apparently has nothing to do with Win95 per se. Just some apps and DLLs and how they interact. Culprits on my system were apps from Delrina/Symantec (WinFax, WinComm, TalkWorks), Netscape (NS Mail), and Microsoft IE (JavaScript date function caused 'Internal JavaScript error'). FWIW, Netscape is now aware of the problem and promises more graceful behavior in Communicator (NSN 4.0). Before discovering the cause of the problem, I removed/reinstalled Delrina/Symantec apps, IE 3.01, Navigator, and finally Win95 and all patches/updates -- and then upgraded my system BIOS. Reason: with the typical 2-digit year display, how would I know it's _20_96? Why did I think one of my sent messages had been trashed? In my 'sent items' box is a whole bunch of messages dated 2096. They'll still be at the top of the list when I'm dust. David Perrell
