040905 - Called Microsoft for support per incident at ref SDS 4 line 73.
040906 -
040907 - Talked to Dan
040908 -
040909 -    He worked with me for an hour or so.  We seem to have W95 running
040910 -    again.  It re-created the original apps and restored the Program
040911 -    function in the Start function.  When we boot to DOS start OS2, we
040912 -    no longer have option 7.  I tried option 5 and it seems to work.
040913 -
040914 -
040915 - We created a new W95 boot disk.
040916 -
040917 - The apps we had before were installed again.
040918 -
040919 - Dan said we can recreate the Start Programs if they are lost again,
040920 - by running Startup from within W95.
040921 -
040922 -     Where do we run Startup in W95?
040923 -
040924 -     Click Start, select Run.    need CD.
040925 -
040926 -         call:  j:\win95\setup
040927 -
040928 -
040929 -
040930 - We put the uninstall stuff the installation opertion created on the
040931 - e: drive.  It is a 21 MB hidden file on e.
040932 -
040933 -     How do we uninstall this thing.
040934 -
040935 -     Start, Settings, Control Panel, select Add/Remove programs.
040936 -
040937 -     W95 is listed in the window below; click to make it current and
040938 -     click on button to Add/Remove.
040939 -
040940 -
040941 -
040942 - Memory management
040943 -
040944 - We have 594K free as a baseline.  Dan says network drivers will load
040945 - high in W95.  There is no particular evidence for this though.  The
040946 - other drivers are loaded in lower RAM.
040947 -
040948 - Dan showed how to create a separate DOS environment that would not use
040949 - device drivers, but it would not run in a window, so that is not any
040950 - good.
040951 -
040952 -
040953 - Option 7 is not shown
040954 -
040955 - When we boot out of W95 to DOS and press F8, we are not getting the
040956 - option #7.

040958 - Talked Marriana.
