Hello all... Thought I might try and answer this one, before I disappear
off into lurker land again ;)
Is it 'explorer.exe' that's running? That's the task bar of Win'95 (or '98
or NT). Internet Explorer is called 'iexplore.exe' (and will show as such
in your task list)
If you try stopping explorer.exe from your task manager you will see the
task bar disappear for a moment, and then return (and explorer.exe will be
back on your task list). Using 2.5Mb of memory is fine (it uses 5Mb of
memory on mine).
However, what Instanta is I have no idea! (after a quick search of the web
I've got a Wirral based hot drinks machine manufacturer and a Birmingham
insurance agent...)
Ho hum
