Oracle Forms 4.5 Runtime on Win95

Hi, we just setup a few new machines in the office to run some in-house Oracle Forms applications. We are using Forms 4.5 and the executables are run off of a Novell server. The new machines are Dell P2-450's with 128MB RAM, SMC ethernet cards and Windows 95 4.50b. We have several older machines successfully running Oracle applications. Most of them are P90-200's running WinNT4 SP4 or Win95 4.50 or 4.50a.

On the new machines, I installed the required Oracle support files and SQL*Net files etc.. just like our other machines are setup. However, after running our application for awhile, Forms runtime reports Bad Chunk errors when trying to load certain forms. The funny thing is that it will only happen sometimes and if you keep trying to load different forms, more will fail. I tried moving the forms off of the network and to the local machine and the problem disappeared. I then got our network guys to check ou

t the network and they say it is fine and that it is an Oracle problem not a hardware or Win95 problem. I'm not so sure.

Is there a problem possibly with Forms 4.5 and Win95 4.50b? Or is there something else I should be looking at? None of the problems appear on the other machines. The problem appeared on two identically configured Dell 450's. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.
