You don't indicate what omega product you envision running on a W95 setup;
but if anything more recent than supercharts, I would accept the W95 refusal
to log you on as a safety interlock, a leading indicator of the problems
you will encounter if you ever get past the logon screen. Your trading
account will also benefit from this safety interlock assuming you never
discover the password. . Been there thru W98, NT4, W2K, TS4, ProSuite, and
hundreds of hours with omega tech support (unsupport?). Lots of luck.
