(Win98 will though, at least > the beta and release candidates do) But if your PC CPU is slower than 66MHz Win 98 will refuse to install, even though such a system can run the OS satisfactorily. I find it kinda fascist the way it demands certain hardware, rather than just recommending minimum hardware as software should. We have a stable Win32 product that has been running perfectly ok on Win95 and NT4 ever since they came out. If we run it on a Win98 RC5 box hooked to our LAN we can crash the OS (blue screen) within 5 minutes of normal (though rigorous) use. You said that you've only had a crash on the 'net - perhaps the networking code is sub-standard. I might mention this to our testers... -- Toby (who's FreeBSD pc has *never* crashed - I know, I know, I can't play most new DirectX games - that's why I have a playstation).
