Yesterday I have downloaded two applications from VISIO Corp. (Swimlanes
demo)  and CuteFTP (CuteFTP 2.0) web sites. After installation I have
noticed several problems in my win95 operation:
- The w95 Explorer makes a soft and quick scroll of the display when
pointing to files or opening folders (it did not behave like this before) -
not bad

- The Properties windows/panes which I access to through Control Panel has
augmented its size, and I can not access to the <OK> and <CANCEL> buttons,
because they are outside the screen limits. In some cases they are in, but
I can not see the <OK> or <CANCEL> text, and I see a line instead inside
the buttons - very bad! I can not change my configuration!
(this is the same on the IE 'options' window)

- The text font of windows tabs in Panel Properties windows has enlarged
its size to near 12 p

- The favorite links icons on the Microsoft Explorer (3.02, spanish)
favorites toolbar are smaller, and the text associated shows only one
letter and three points ("T...")

I have tried to reinstall my w95, but the installation application detects
an error in w95 installation, and request me to close all programs and
reinstall win95 each time I try to reinstall.

I think Swimlanes installs some VBA code -does it matter?

Any suggestion that help me to prevent erasing all my win95 and reinstall
it from scratch?

My computer is a Toshiba laptop T2100 with 20 Mb RAM and b&w display panel.
The disk (250 Mb) is compressed with DriveSpace to 640 Mb.  Win95 v.
4.00.950 B. Microsoft Plus! Installed.

Thanks you in advance!
