Hi Mark,

other than NT, the registry in Win95 has a size limit. Old Win95
installations reach the size limit after some years (I think it's
around 2 Megs or so) and this means there is no memory left to add
something to the registry.

Win 98 has a tool that shrinks the registry size, and NT 4.0 can
change the registry's maximum size. But I think with Win 95, your only
chance will be reinstalling Win 95.

Good luck,
Guido.
