  • Subject: Re: re Client Access stopping Win95 from shutting down properly

Booth:

The best way to handle this problem is:

1.  Uninstall Client Access on the Pentium.  Reboot.

2.  Reinstall Client Access. Reboot.

3.  Install the latest service pack. Reboot.

4.  Stop using @#$% NS router.

5.  Use TCP/IP

6.  To avoid Win95 OSR2 from doing Scandisk, use notepad to edit msdos.sys in 
the
root directory and add a line at the end which says
AUTOSCAN = 0

7.  Remove check version from startup.

8.  If it still does not work, remove all network connections to AS/400.  Get a
stable environment (startup & shutdown) and then add one connection at a time.

9.  Also, you should run a defrag and scandisk with thorough option checked
(overnight job).

10.  After a hard shutdown, always boot to safe mode and then boot to normal
mode.

11. If everything else fails, get rid of the pc and go with the AS/400 :-)
