We have Windows 95 clients that use SMS 2.0 that will randomly hang at startup. The Close Program window shows that the odpwin9x.dll is not responding. As suggested by Microsoft, the netapi.dll file is in the proper folder and also has the correct date and revision. The latest service packs have also been applied to SMS. This hasn't taken care of the problem. Any helpful information would be greatly appreciated.

verify that the win95 is as up to date with patches also, then I would use scandisk on the win95 clients as well. ( requires no netware running to do, boot off of floppy and run at command prompt )

you may need to configure the path or cd into windows\commands to run scandisk that way. I would also let it surface scan when doing it.

though it is probably just win95 acting up on you other than anything else.
