Additional Comments
"I run all the applications you listed and almost never have your problems.
?I run Adobe PhotoShop, Illustrator, PageMaker, and Acrobat. Corrupted
files might be a sign of a hard drive problem, but the others sound like
life with Win95."
"Are you sure your problems aren't caused by the Microsoft products you are
using? I don't use Microsoft products and I don't experience the problems
you quoted above."
"Upgrading from a 133 to 233 made a significant difference. I have a lot
less PC lockups/corrupted files/GPFs/Illegal operations."
