>>Hi guys. We are getting freezes on a lot of machines that have Window 98 2nd Edition. They are double clicking on a FPW 2.6 app, that has been running for years. I have noticed that recently they are all freezing when the user just double clicks the icon. It does not happen to them every time. I have noticed that if they have Word 2000 or Excel 2000 already open, it occurs. But I also think it happens when they reboot and there is absolutely nothing else running.

>>Has anyone run into this. Is there a cure. I keep telling each region's Monkey Boy, that there isn't anything we can do. It is just a 16 bit application running on a newer operating system.

>>We already use the patch for faster spped machines, so the problem is not related. thanks guys
