Well David, I think that it is about time you explained yourself a bit better.
I've been using a beta test version of MS-DOS 5.00 and WIN3 on a 286 640K
system for about three months and have had NO problems.  In fact, I've noticed
a performance improvement in WIN3.  After the installation of 5.00, I backed
everything up onto tape, and repartitioned/reformated the hard drive.

-	What is your hardware/network environment?  
-	Are the 'missing' programs on your local hard disk or on a network 
	drive?  
-	WHY are you booting from a floppy diskette anyway???

If you are serious about solving this problem, then e-mail me and lets end
this thread before it gets out of hand!
