Not unless you post the *details* of your problem. Tell us the version
numbers of your DJGPP installation files. Post the contents of your
autoexec.bat, config.sys and djgpp.env files. Then maybe someone may
recognise what is going on.

Since you say it has only just started happening, maybe you should suspect
that you have a virus.

Maybe you could note down your DJGPP executable file sizes, then
reinstall DJGPP to see if there are any differences.

No skin off my nose.
