I installed the bleeding edge 1.99p2. Whenever I tried to access my Dos drives, I would have to wait about 5 minutes for it to scan the drive and create a window. Later, when I dropped my modem connection, (which had been running a PPP connection for me) Executor accessed the drives fairly quickly. Hope it helps, Jerry >>>>>> "Seth" == Seth Crews <guardian@inetnebr.com> writes: > > >> Just a quick note to the Mail List readers, I install the > >> 1.99p2 bleeding edge executor.exe, but I am still experiencing > >> (sp?) a massive slowdown when accessing dos drives. c: d: e: > >> etc. executor drives are still okay. anyone else having the > >> same responses? thanks os: win95 and dos6.2 ram:16MB HD:550 > >> ide > > Seth> Yes!
