I have 2 Win95 PC's that hanging after login.
Pressing Ctrl-Alt-del shows wm95sast.exe running in the task list. If I end the task the login process completes as usual.
I removed the Novell client 3.1 and loged in using Microsofts client for netware, this worked fine. Reinstalled the Novell client 3.1 and the process hung.
According to Novell Mcafee A/V may be at fault so I uninstalled it, rebooted but no luck the login process hung.

Any ideas please let me know.

If it is not installed try installing Novell Client 32 v3.10 Service Pack 2.

During the startup of 95' hold the shift key down when the 95' logo splash screen comes up and keep it held down until the desktop comes up or the system hangs. Doingthis bypasses most of the programs, such as McAfee, from starting up, but should not interfere with Client 3.1. This should tell you if there is a conflict with one of the startup programs.

Good Luck!
