Steve,
I tried your suggestion of removing Childs 0001 & 0001 with no luck. I also tried
replacing Explorer and then re-installing Windows also with no luck. Bootlog says
that 5 virtual drivers failed to load including vshare, ebios and vpowerd although
they were referenced properly in System.ini. I can try replacing Rundll. My other
problem is that someone in the office misplaced the Win95 CD and I'm having to use
an older version on floppies.
