Thou I don't have an answer, I want in on this thread, please. I know I'll be running into this same issue shortly.

>I have end users that are running Microsoft Network with mixed Windows 95 and Windows 98 machines.. The users are getting an abnormal amount of corrupted index files.. In fact, it's so unusual, we can pretty much guess their network composition by the kind of problem that they are reporting.. Has anyone ever ran into this? Is it a problem with the 98 machines running more recent drivers than the 95s? Maybe the file tracking mechanism that 98 uses? Any suggestions on how to identify and correct this problem would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. (by the way, all other network compositions do not 'appear' to have the same problem, eg, Novell with mixed Windows 3.21 and Windows 95 doesn't seem to trash the index.. as well as an all Win95 Microsoft Network..)
