Imagine a post like so:

I had a perfectly good kettle.  It would boil water and let me drink my
coffee (sorry, tea in the UK) any time, even when I was running Windows. 
But now I installed this DJGPP v2 thingy, and my kettle suddenly stopped
working when I invoke Windows.  It just sits there and does nothing.  WHY 
DOES DJGPP v2 DEPRIVE ME OF MY COFFEE???

Seriously, people, don't you think you sometimes overestimate the powers 
of DJGPP?

Did you rename go32-v2.exe which came with v2 to go32.exe?  If so, undo 
that.  AFAIK, stand-alone v1 programs still look for go32.exe and try 
loading one if it is found.

If the above doesn't help, please post the exact message printed when you 
try to invoke v1 programs on that troubled system.

This is explained in the FAQ (section 9.5).  You can put CWSDPMI either 
in the same directory as your DJGPP program or anywhere else along the 
PATH.
