I'm new to win95 and all this neat stuff. Recently quit os/2 after 2 years. I've run into a few problems and have found answers in news groups that have helped me through things.

Hi, I'm new to the internet, and I am having some problems with my
Eudora Light program for Email. Does anyone know how to setup the
Eudora mail system from Windows 95?

Vella welcome! Please post this question in the Eudora Light topic in

It has been an up hill battle, first learning win3.1, the internet, and
upgrading to win95. I put together two online manuals, notes of everything
I found and every body that helped on the way. The first deals with win3.1
which is titled the Living Manual, the second is Windows 95 Story. I tried
to keep it simple and you should find some help here.

It was good. The text was a bit bold and large. But there is some good information there.

I was beta tester for Win 95 and I do Conulting on a part time basis. if anyone out there needs help with Win 95 or Eudora (my personal favorite), you can e-mail me at hlcox@concentric.net and I'll see if I can help you. I have working knowledge of about 300 PC based programs. I am based in the Austin area and if you need inhome consulting, I am available in the evenings and on weekends and I can work with you on my system if needed.

I could use your help setting up some of the Spring's workstations. Mainly,
getting them to network to an NT 4.0 server on an isdn connection. Configuring
network cards to work is what it boils down to mainly.

When I start up my computer (windows 95), it freezes up at times just before placing the icons on the desktop and to correct it, I need to unplug and plug the computer when the computer turns on and this time it does not freeze. What could be wrong, and How can I prevent this from happenning.
Thanks for your help.

Sounds like reinstall time. What applications have you loaded besides Windows? What
is your hardware configuration? Can you give us any othe clues?

Hi All,
Thought I would put in a plug for a good WIN95 starter/user book that was the text of choice at our local community college. It is WINDOWS 95, Complete Concepts and Techniques by Shelly/Cashman/Forsythe. Gives step by step, window by window hands on applications. Great compliment to the Help screens. A good text to have in ones computer library.

Good plug. There's also a good Windows 95 book in the How It Works series
from ZD Press. These are filled with brilliant color graphics and step-by-step
explanations and there are also some courses at the very fine http://www.zdu.com
Ziff Davis University (it's $4.95 / mo. for unlimited courses). I really like
what they're doing at ZDU and would like to do that with some of the conferences
at the Spring.

Hi! Visiting from San Francisco, linking from (terry)'s recent posts in Eminds.
I'm a freelance database developer, and often get work from the net. That's not exactly why I'm here, but hey, I do find work in odd places.
I'll help for free when I can, but the win95 monolith'o'bytes is often beyond as well.

eeg! No, haven't done any web-data stuff yet. Waiting for an appropriate tool level. Internal: I'm buying an NT server in August at the earliest. External: I've been on the bleeding edge before, waiting for a good toolset or paid work!
This could change quickly. The volunteer stuff I could do would take a bit of a learning curve. But I'm pretty quick.

I'm not a Programmer, but I have written a few .bat files to help copy files from a disk into specific directories on a novices machine, from time to time. As well as making MSDOS shortcuts from the command prompt.
What I need is a utility that will allow me to do LFN file transfers in a Windows95 environment, from Floppy, into specific directories. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Does anyone know anything about how or with what software I might be able to view graphics files that end with .EPS? I guess they're post script files of some sort, but would like to view them...any ideas? I've tried serveral graphics programs but no luck. I'm thinking they may have to be converted to a jpg or bmp format.

Greetings! Does anyone know how the animated icons work and where to get them for the Windows 95 desktop? You know, the ones you see in retail outlets? I have some *.ani files on CD-ROM but I can`t get them to *animate*. My search on the internet brings up only many people posing the question, and no one answering it. Thanks!

If you get the Front Page 98 Image Composer you can
make your own animated gifs from video tapes and other
gifs really easily. It's almost a no brainer. As to
a source for animated gifs, I'm not sure. We have some
cool ones running at times on our main Spring page that
you're welcome to right click your mouse button on and
save to your hard drive.
Wish I had more information on your specific question.

Check out all the audio apps in our apps conference and then check
out Forrest Stroud's site at http://www.stroud.com for locations of these
apps. Then do a net search on "voice on the net". I'll try and come up
with some more information for you.

Hello world.
I was helping a friend with their DUN installation on a new (about 2 months old)
Windows 95 machine. Everything works well except that the Connect box comes up
every time we start up the machine. How do you stop this from happening? I have taken everything out of the "Startup" directory except the Lotus SmartSuite toolbar.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. This conference is a great idea, by the way.

thanks stacey.
I did something to my netscape. It will not save bookmarks. I went to
netscape and, I thought I did what I was told. The advised to save the old
bookmark, then import it into the new updated netscape. however, each time
I open netscape, it still does not save, nor are the old bookmarks there. If
I want to use the old bookmarker, I have to import it each time. I really
think that I have something (a dll or ?) missing in the program.
If anyone could help, I would appreciate it, as well as try the suggestions.

May I answer this for you? I work with Netscape all the time. Locate your Netscape on Windows Explorer
(imoported bookmarks on diskette?)
open Users file
open default (where mine is) or your name file if that is where yours are
find the bookmark file.
drag the import file and drop it onto the old one in Nerscape. It will ask you if you want to replace the one with the other. Say yes. Close netscape and reboot. Voila!

Diann, save your bookmarks to diskette. every couple of days I resave mine and it asks if you want the old file replaced, Say yes and your current list is on the disk. From time to time Netscape will boot funny and to find your precious bookmark index as just the default junk is a terrible things to see. Be sure your diskette is updated frequently.

One further suggestion...Don't use anything other than Netscape Navigator 4.0. The others have features you do not need (unless you are using them for your email, and I see you are not). It will give you the least grief in the long run, and is the best they have ever made. BTW, even those using AOL, whose browser is a pain, use it to get online, then use Netscape for your browser. Works great. There are some pretty intelligent people out there not following this suggestion and are having all sorts of p
oblems the need not have.
