 The PCs that I have "fixed" only required removing the CA Login Check
 Version from the Startup folder.  >>

A simple solution to try is to add ' 10' at the end of the command line for
the CA Login Check Version shortcut in the Startup folder.  We use CA to
access the 400 via TCP/IP, and were having startup and shutdown problems with
Win95.  I read somewhere, I think it was here, that adding ' 10' to the end
of the command line would tell Check Version to pause for 10 seconds before
executing.  This extra time was enough for Win95 to finish all of its startup
procedures before Check Version ran.

As soon as we did this, all of our problems went away.  No more spontaneous
reboots during startup. No more shutdowns taking 20-30 minutes to complete.
 Try it and see if it helps.  If it does, you can leave Check Version alone
so that it can do its job.


TTFN...
