I have a Toshiba Techra 8000 using Windows 98, 2d edition. It has been very
crash prone. Some weeks ago I received an ad from McAfee for a program
called "Anti-Crash" for about $25.00 plus postage. It was touted as avoiding
many (not all) of the crashes to which Win 98 is prone. I bit and installed
it when it came.
I am pleased to state that I have had many notices from the program
where it said it was avoiding (or fixing) an imminent crash. I am thoroughly
delighted with the program. Although I cannot state it is actually saving
me from a crash, I can state that I have had almost no actual crashes since
installing it. It is unfortunate that a company such as Microsoft cannot
include such protection from their crashes within a program that they tout
as so efficient. It makes you wonder if some of these crashes are allowed
in their programs so that future upgrades can include such repairs.
Incidentally I received a thank you from McAffee
with an invitation to receive a $5.00 discount on my next purchase within
14 days. It also invited me to pass this invitation on so I do not know
whether this discount applies to everyone or not.
