>My workstation was on Windows '95 before and it was stable. I would say, with all those apps always running 24 hours a day, I only had to reboot about once every two weeks. I considered that to be a good standard. However, since I upgraded, I have to reboot several times per week. As oppose to Windows '95, this time, it reboots itself even while I'm not doing anything. See, last week, I was on the phone and it just rebooted. I didn't do anything.

I have found the exact opposite to be true, Win98 has given more stability. I don't have any advice other than perhaps a reinstall.

>Some says to go to Windows 2000. However, for a workstation, it's not suggested. Should I go back to Windows '95, put NT on it or just wait for a miracle?

Great experience with NT4 Workstation. Unexpected reboots only required every few months, even when workstation is left on 24 hours per day. If moving to NT Workstation ensure that all hardware/software is NT compliant and has proper drivers.
