I let it run for over 4-5 hours, and it was still doing the same thing. I've tryed with 2.1.0, and 2.2-061296. I've tryed my letting it use my entire HD, and tryed just letting it use half of it, and letting Win95 use the other half. It's a Western Digital 540 MB IDE drive, the system is a 486SX2/50, and I have 8 megs of RAM. Have any solutions? Thanks. Ed Mullins
