Tina, I learned my lesson upgrading from 3.11 to 95. NEVER AGAIN!
I effectivly rendered 2 486/dx2 machines USELESS! ...and I knew what I was
doing.
One is now a doorstop in the attic, the other, my daughter uses for
her CD-ROM's. A third machine, a DX2/100 with 128 megs of ram, I left as
3.11 and I still us this one as the file/print/comm server on my network.
the lesson? Upgrades are a hoax... leave well enough alone. If you must have
the new operating system, reformat the drive and start over with a full version.
hard cold truth but sometimes it's better to bite the bullet upfront and
save yourself weeks of misery.
GGGRRRRRRR....don't get me started on Microsoft......
If I could get Photoshop for Linux I'd be there in a minute!
