Sorry to hear this happened. I frequent some of the tech Win95/IE newsgroups and have
seen many similar stories. I posted to this effect on RT a few days ago but a couple of
other people posted that they did not have any problems. IE 4 makes MAJOR changes to the
Win95 UI and many system components. Wait until it is debugged before trying it out...
