So, it is now wait and watch for a correction! Here is hoping this situation can be corrected in an operating system type file rather than a running process(???) !!!!

For those that would like to review a Microsoft newsgroup that the announcement can be found plus several replies to the announcement try the following:

  www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx

          Then elect +ENGLISH
             Then select +Windows9x
                   Then select Windows 98 General

The "search for" window was set with "jerry bryant" and the "search in" was set to "Windows 98".

The subject of "MS05-002 on 9x and ME" had 90 (plus) entries and the article by Jerry Bryant was the first one listed.

THANKS to all for your comments, time, and advise!!!   :) :)
