As Cynthy posted a clean install can make your life MUCH easier.... I use Communicator daily. I would suggest on change.... You might make a emergency disk from your current Win98 setup. The Win98 emergency disk incorporates native CD-ROM support. After you have the diskette in hand, place it in the drive and boot with it. You will be asked With CD-ROM support. Choose it and insure your CD-ROM is supported. Another caveat, after reinstall you will have to run all setups for the programs to replace the DLL files and interface with Win98 so insure you have the original programs and activation keys. regards mrdata ========== :^) Rowland Croucher wrote: > Sometimes someone (in this case Bill Gates) is sent into our lives to > teach us patience... > > I upgraded my W95 to W98: AOK (faster shut downs and a few other minor > advantages) then tried to download the latest Netscape 4.0 whatever... > > Then it all happened.
