You could have crosslinked files and a screwed up filesystem. You should take a look and make sure ALL files that end in .tmp are gone..if a Windows program..even Windows itself tries to recreate it's .tmp files and there is something already there which wasn't deleted due to improper shutdown..then it can cause all kinds of wanky issues. If you have Norton Utils (if you don't..get them..anyone who runs Windows should have them)..you should run DiskDoctor and Speeddisk on this partition. I do believe that Mozilla can freeze and take Windows down with it...any program in Windows that freezes can take the OS down. But I fear your issues are from the improper shutdown and could be corrected by doing some of the things I suggest above. It's been like 5 years since I used Windows95/98 but since the software hasn't changed..these things should still be valid. -----=====-----=====-----=====-----=====----- Ben Rosenberg mailto:ben@whack.org -----=====-----=====-----=====-----=====----- "I've never been quarantined.
