They're BAAAACK. Thanks to all that replied but it turned out not to be anything obvious. I had sysed the drive and set the primary active. The machine had a master and slave drive. For some inexplicable reason most of Win95 was installed on the master and the rest on the slave. I didn't even think this was possible. Well, I xcopyed the slave again this time allowing it to overwrite and forcing it to copy hidden files. Now all is well. But now how can I fix his multiple personality Win95 installation? Will a re-install do it? Should I use any special switches? ********************************************************************** Dale Schroyer [log in to unmask] Springfield, MA "Nothing is foolproof because fools are so ingenious" **********************************************************************
