(PC) Systems Crashing with CA95 v3r1m3

["David Petrie/Taylor Enterprises" <taylor@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

We have 14 PCs networked with an S-10 using TCP/IP on a token 
ring network.  Nine of those PCs are using e-mail connected to the 
internet via a gateway called WinGate, and 7 of them are 
Win95/Win98 machines.  We are using V4R1 of OS/400 with the 
latest cum applied, and CA95 v3r1m3 and service pack SF48155.  
My other e-mail users are WFW 3.11 and the old CA Extended for 
DOS.  Of the other five users not on e-mail, one is Win95 and four 
are WFW 3.11

My e-mail software is Pegasus Mail for Windows v.3.01b (32 bit for 
the Win95/98 machines and 16 bit for WFW 3.11).  Pegasus and 
all the mail folders reside on the AS/400.

My users like to keep Pegasus open and minimized on their 
desktops.  The problem is that it will cause system crashes.  
Typically, the computer will freeze while the user is in another 
application (usually WordPerfect 7, which is the PC software they 
use most often).  Ctrl-Alt-Del will bring up the "Close Task" 
dialogue which indicates Pegasus is not responding.  Ending 
Pegasus produces no result (one user waited 15 minutes for 
Pegasus to end), and giving the three-finger salute a second time 
produces the dreaded blue "system busy or unstable" screen of 
death.  At this point, there is not choice but to reboot.

The WFW 3.11 users don't have any problems, and neither do the 
Win 95 users not on e-mail.  Prior to installing CA95 v3r1m3 and 
the service pack (which I understand is necessary to run Win98), 
no one else had any problems either, so I have to believe there is a 
conflict of some kind between CA and Pegasus.

Anyone have any ideas on whether I'm right and, if so, whether 
there is a work around (other than closing Pegasus when it's not in 
use)?

Everything is gratefully received.

TIA,
David
