Re: Computer question

NO, NO, a thousand times NO!!!

I am writing to the List because I don't have the address of the
original poster (who I already answered).  The comments below, by
Bobby Harley, refer to WIN 95 (and are incorrect for that, also);
deleting files which end in .bak, .chk, etc., may clear space, but
they may also disable something critical unless you know *exactly*
what they are.

"File Manager", while present in WIN 95, does not exist as a
"shortcut".  It is still there (as c:\windows\winfile.exe); but what
the original questioner is asking about refers to WIN 3.1. File
Manager exists in the "Main" group; but if he cannot run Windows, he
can't gain access to the Program groups!

If the problem is not enough memory (RAM), or mal-distributed memory,
then my recommendations to run "Memmaker" from the DOS prompt will
work.  If that will not allow you to open Windows, you should
probably take the machine to a shop.

Good luck!


Best,

Bob Fink
