In reply to:

Do you really think this is an emplode-problem? Didn't windows crash before emplode sometimes, too



As I see it, "crash" wasn't the right word to use. What happens is that emplode attempts to open up a TCP/IP connection to the empeg. This particular setup of Win9x detects this as an attempt to access the internet (which my assumption is that Henno accesses the internet through a dial-up modem connection).

In fact, if you just let the dial-up networking connect to the Internet (instead of trying cancel), I am pretty sure that emplode would eventually time out or tell you it can't connect (at which point, you could disconnect from the Internet and not have to press the reset switch).

I interpret "crash" to mean that the system either reboots, freezes, or becomes unstable (often accompanied with an error message like a blue screen of death).
