I know you guys are having all sorts of problems under Win95, but there is an easy solutions. Copy all your files to tape using XCOPY. Load up Westec's TapeWORM product. Your tape drive becomes a drive letter on your computer and you copy all your files over. Its fast, simple and handles Win95 today. Yes, it does not handle long file names, but if you crash your system, only Win95 uses long file names and you will have to reinstall anyway. But your data is safe and you can copy it back off. If anything, just check our their web site: http://u-net.com/westec/
