I had the same problem. Came out of nowhere. Beats me what I did to
wake up this bug. Couldn't get rid of it. Finally did a reinstall of
Win95 and all is well again. I keep my fingers crossed that it doesn't
come back. If anyone finds out what cause the bug to awaken, I would
greatly appreciate hearing about it, 'cause sure as eggs it will come
back when I need the system most.
