Hi Linda, in my experience, if you start to have problems right after
installing a new program, that's the first place I look!
Are you sure the anti-virus is the correct one for use with your Windows95
operating system?  Some are version specific!
If you are fairly certain this can be related to the install of the new
virus program...(by the way, which one is it?), I would see if uninstalling
it would correct the problem...if not, you can always reinstall when you
figure out what the problem really is.
Virus programs tend to be all-encompassing as far as your operating system
is concerned, and for good reason!  It needs to be able to check all files,
working as the computer boots up, most of them checking your email as well,
so it's possible there is some conflict with something already on your
computer.
Write back with any updates or for more help.

Subject: [PCBUILD] Registry (?) Problems


I began having problems just after installing a new virus protector, .... My
controls c&v won't work. I can copy and paste though....server and they say
it is not their fault that I need to upgrade IE 5...will not download.
Windows 95 & virus protector update will not download. Sometimes mail says
"This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.
Contact program vendor". I go out of the program and bring it back on and
everything is fine...also message in the mail..."Windows encountered an
error in the system registry, restart Windows". ...this message  "Scan Disk
has restarted 10 times because Windows or another program has been writing
to this drive, quit some programs." Nothing else running. As far as I can
tell everything else on the computer works fine.What is my problem and can I
fix it? Linda Crawford
