Eh?  Your computer does actually work, doesn't it... I mean, the clouds.. are
they actually in the room or solely on (not in) the monitor..?..  Oh!  One
minute...

Uh?

Emmm...

Right.

:>I used to run the older version of win95 with no problems.I have tried

:>I start from nothing)

I see..

:>Does anyone have any ideas please.


I think you've mixed OS/2 with OSR2.  OS/2 is an operating system whereas
OSR2 is a bug fix for something else entirely...namely Windos 95.  You see,
there are no clouds or run menus in OS/2 and it's always running in a safer
mode...

I think your best bet is to subscribe to

demon.ip.support.win95 or just plain demon.ip.support should do.

Good luck and hope you get your problem fixed.
