Get the following message on start up: OPERATING SYSTEM NOT FOUND. I do a soft boot (cntl+alt+delete) then Win95 fires up just fine. What's the scoop? Thanks for your help in advance. I have to run to work so I won't be able to respond for 8-10 hours.

No. I have to shut down completely. When I select "shut down the computer" my machine shuts off automatically. If I start it up right away it doesn't happen. Nor does it happen when I select "restart the computer" but if I shut it down, wait a minute or so, then it happens. I don't do anything but press the start button. When Win95 is loading I then get the message.
