michael - thanks again for the suggestion.  unfortunately it did not work.

any other suggestions welcomed.

our computer support person keeps telling me to switch to toshiba or digital
(dec) ... ANYTHING BUT IBM!  he says he has installed win95 on many
machines around the campus and my thinkpad 755CE - which may well be the only

days of trying without success.  up-dating everything, bios, drivers, etc etc.
but all without success.
