We have three Dell PC's with Windows NT workstation 4.0 with service pack 3
and we have to reboot everyday. We have virtual memory problems and have
changed settings and it does nothing. Printing to network printers might
print once and then locks up and you have to reboot the whole system.
Windows 9x may not be as secure or as seemingly reliable, but we have less
problems in all areas than Windows NT workstation.

From "Paul Edwards" <[log in to unmask]>, on 8/19/98 8:34 PM:
I used NT 4.0 on PCs at HP in Atlanta for a year and only rebooted twice
in that time. I use NT 4.0 workstation on my PC at my office and I haven't
had to reboot but about once every 6 months. There must be a bad
configuration or other problems at your site.
