[pchelpers] Re: Start Up Error Windows 95

To close this out:
I have installed Windows 95a. I made search for
KERNAL32.DLL:GetDiskFreeSpaceExA.
on the internet. Response said that it was Windows95b
that first had something concerning "GetFreeSpaceExA"
I probably downloaded something to do with 95b that caused
this "not really a problem". I could not find a plain "KERNAL32.DLL"
on my computer. It had a microsoft URL for downloading a file to
correct this, but the URL is now dead, probably because there is no
support for this. Something came up about "Fresh Update", but the
cure is worse than the disease in this case. I'll live with it.

It's all over. I'm just going to click "OK" on the error message when I
use the older computer...
