&gt;&lt;&lt; Replacing the motherboard/CPU/RAM(?) can be an effective
middle<br>
&gt;path, but there are a fair number of things to watch out for along<br>
&gt;that way. &gt;&gt;<br>

&gt;If one does replace the motherboard etc, is the data still safe on the
HD or<br>
&gt;will it be lost with the new configuration?<br>

I have replaced motherboards and processors many times and have not lost
data yet..... But before doing so always backup data.&nbsp; My usual
process in a nutshell for Win 95 is *after* backup, replace hardware, and
then boot into Win 95 safe mode, delete all device drivers, reboot and
reinstall all drivers for the new motherboard and other installed devices
(one at a time if possible).&nbsp; This will require several re-boots but
has worked for me so far. </html>
