I do not know who all will see this message but it is intended to thank all of you who helped me through some difficult tasks.  I did upgrade the machine we use as a server from Win Me to Win 2000 Pro.  The upgrade went fine even though Microsoft officially does not support this particullar upgrade path.  We don't use other programs on this PC so the incompatability issues were of no importance.  Now our system is up and running fine and for the last several days our system speed issues have disappeared and all is well!!!!!!!  Thanks to all who responded to my issues.  By the way of our seven workstations, one I upgraded to Win 2000, 2 are running Win 95, one is Win Me, and three are Win 98SE and we are not experiencing any problems.  ( I probably should eventually bring all of the workstations to a common operating system but if it ain't broke don't fix it they say.)

I am glad that this all worked for you.  I do, however, strongly advise that you upgrade the 95 machines.   MS has not supported this operating system for almost three years now.  The range of operating systems that you are running will get you sooner or later.   Life is much easier if you plan upgrades like that, rather than be forced into them by incompatibility issues.
