Trashed FAT from HP devices and Netscape

by tlsnc . Updated 26 years ago

I have been fighting with a Windows 95B system since Jan. I have managed to identify the programs that are “fighting” but can’t resolve the conflict. System is on a 5 station peer to peer network using a 3Com NIC. It has HP scanner and 4000TN running jetadmin. This configuration has been working for over 18 months. First problem to show up was that the printer was not recognized. A reboot would fix that one but it did not stop there. The only thing that had changed was an upgrade from Netscape 4.5 to 4.7 (currently it has 4.73). This would happen every time Netscape was opened more than twice to check email without rebooting the machine. Within a week a reboot would produce .vxd errors for Netscape and then started trashing the FAT. I haveupgraded all drivers and apps and even reinstalled Windows. The longest stability is 3.5 weeks.
Without DiskClone I would be totally insane. Please help!
