Interesting, it was installing for me on my 266MHz machine with 64MB RAM and it was also allocated 32MB for the Win95 VM. I was installing from disks, and it was so slow that I assumed the finished product would be very slow also, so I aborted the installation. It gave me an error about a timing file not being found, but went on to try to install anyway. -- Andrew
