Sue,
For starters, I'd recommend running Scandisk
and Defrag if you haven't done so already. You
can find them in Start, Programs, Accessories,
System Tools.  Be sure to set Scandisk to
automatically repair any errors. If this has
happened alot, and you haven't ran Scandisk,
you might want to set Scandisk to do a thorough
scan also.

Have you recently added any new hardware or
memory upgrades?  My experience with the "blue
screen of death" has always been hardware.  The
last two times were memory chips.  One bad, the
second was an incompatible chip.

I tried checking for VNBT at Microsofts
Knowledge Base, but couldn't find anything so
I'm not sure if this and the PPPMAC are standard
Virtual drivers that come with Win95.  If I
knew, I'd suggest copying the two to a temporary
directory and then copy the "new" ones into the
system directory, as things can sometime get
corrupted.  I have them on my machine.

As for Internet Explorer, I'm not a big fan of
it so I couldn't offer any ideas for it.

Best of luck!
