It's your keyboard (how old is it, what vendor?). I had a similar problem about a year ago in the middle of a very urgent project. After a few days of "repairing" it by re-booting, the keyboard gave up on me. The funny part being that a second KB I had lying around was also out of order. 2. If it's definitely not your KB, it is one of the typical symptoms of Win9x running out of resources (my pet trouble, most Win9x crashes are due to the stupid memory handling with GDI, SYSTEM and USER heaps). Only remedy feasible - if you don't wanna change systems - is a re-boot. -- Dierk Haasis http://www.Write4U.de http://Zoo.Write4U.de PGP keys available: mailto:Dierk.Haasis@;Write4U.de?Subject=SendMyPGPkeys The Bat 1.62/Beta6 on Windows 95 4.0 1212 C Second Marriage: Another instance of the triumph of hope over experience.
