All computers are running win95 with McAffe's latest Dat files. Yet serveral computers lock up when the start button is clicked anywhere from 5 minutes to forever. virus scans are ran regularly. One computer is mainly used to CAD and email. the others use mainly Office 97 with no email at all. Anyone here of this happening?

If you are running v4.5 you need a service pack, sp1. They had it hid on their web site when the issue came up for us. Also there was a problem with their update server awhile back where it was corrupting the dat files causing lockups. On the older engines we upgraded the engine to 4.5 and added the service pack. Seemed to work much better. Before the service pack we were taking exception errors at boot if the keyboard was used before the scan was complete. Some users could not get to Notes before the upgrade, sp1, etc.

Hope this works for you,

Microsoft has received a large number of reports with the following symptoms:

- Access denied, even when logged on as Administrator.
- Can't change properties or delete files when logged in as Administrator or Owner.
- Client disconnected from the network or being unable to connect.
- Not enough server storage is available to process your command.
- Stop 0x00000050 when attemping to upgrade to NT 4.0.

Do you need to run the scan at startup. If not, disable it. Also, schedule the scan to run at lunch or in the evening. hope this helps.
