forwarded message from Jerry Foglesong
This is certainly helpful, although it also seems kind of bizarre.

Subject: Re: Dos Drives still fail in 1.99p2 :(
Date: Fri, 13 Oct 1995 06:38:23 -0700
A related porblem that may or may not help. I have a 486 running Win'95. I
installed the bleeding edge 1.99p2. Whenever I tried to access my Dos
drives, I would have to wait about 5 minutes for it to scan the drive and
create a window. Later, when I dropped my modem connection, (which had been
running a PPP connection for me) Executor accessed the drives fairly quickly.
Hope it helps,
Jerry
