There are several possible solutions, depending on several things-- You may
not have enough Ram for what you're trying to do -- I had TS on a 32 Meg
machine and had problems, then moved it to a 64 Meg machine and the problems
disappeared-- until I attempted to open too many workspaces, or run a
Browser along side TS, then the problems came back. As suggested by someone
else, it is best to not attempt running anything else when TS is collecting
live data.
As has been discussed here before, there is a pool of "File Selectors" that
TS sucks up like they're going out of style. Win-95 starts out with about
7200 of them after booting. TS quickly draws from the pool as Workspaces,
Indicators, Charts, etc. are opened. If the selector pool drops much below
2000, you're heading for the crash zone. The number of available Selectors
cannot be increased, but you can monitor them to see how many you have
available. If you want to do this, one way is a little program named
WMEM.EXE, which Omega Tech. Support gave me.
Ideally, it is a good idea to re-boot your system at least once a day,
because Win-95 can get its brains dulled or scrambled over a period time
while running resource heavy programs like TS and it's Server. I realize
that many people don't want to do this, but a fresh re-boot daily can work
wonders.
If your system locks up when running Win-95, the thing you want to avoid
most is powering-down -- this can cause the fragmented and corrupted files
that you mentioned. Depending on how bad the lock-up is, If you can use
Alt-F4 to close programs, this is best. If not, try Ctrl-Alt-Del to bring
up the Task-List and "End Task" the offending program(s) -- if this fails,
use the "Reset" button if your computer has one-- some newer models don't.
Only after you've exhausted all these possibilities should you power down--
then be prepared for the problems you've noted.
