First, I have to rescind my cudos to Costas (I will refund 
the money you paid me for them :-)) because what I thought
was a fix turned out to be another problem in disguise 
(nothing new there).  While the PC would boot wonderfully 
and looked like everything was working okay, I started to 
notice files getting "misplaced"; that is, I would save an 
email in Compuserve Information Manager and then when I 
would look for it later, it wasn't where it should be. 
Further investigation revealed that the software was saving 
it to the old drive (now D:) and not to the new drive (now C:).

As a final test, I disconnected the D: drive and the PC 
refused to boot, indicating to me that WIN95 is still using 
files from the old drive.  So, I'm back where I started 
with the old drive as C: and the new drive as D:.

I wish I had a real ISP and didn't have to rely on CIS, but we're 
so far out in the sticks that even CIS's dial-up is a long-distance 
call for me.  Getting my email takes forever when the messages pile 
up (as they do on this list, thanks to me!) and Web browsing via 
a 28.8 dial-up is asking for trouble (even 3K's web page won't 
load with out errors).  So, I guess I am out of luck when purchasing 
products that are web-supported, not to mention that one usually 
can't determine which products are web-supported.

See the above for my not-so-excellent results.

I can recreate it for you.  No problem.
