Personal Web Server 4.0 won't start anymore.

I installed PWS 4.0 on my Windows 95 computer. It installed and ran nicely
without any problems for several months. Then I stopped using it for a while.
Now that I need it again it won't start. The Personal Web Manager program runs
and when I click on Start to start the server running nothing happens now, not
even an error message. I see a message saying "Web Publishing is Off". This
should change to "Web Publishing is On" but it doesn't. Rebooting and turning
off Zonealarm didn't help. I'm using this to learn ASP.

Is there anything I can do to try to get it running again?

Should I uninstall it with Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel and try
reinstalling it?

I tried searching the Microsoft site, looked through the Support &
Troubleshooting area and could not find any help for this problem. I also tried
Google Groups without success.

Thank you.

A reinstall sounds like a good idea. Another good idea may be running an
operating system that isn't 8+ years old... That's just my opinion though!
