I am not shure what does it. I would like to think graphics, but graphics work fine with other programs.... I wish someone knew the answer cuz I have to be able to use winsockets with my game in the near future < 1 month. And using that requires the use of W95 :( Excerpts from netnews.comp.os.msdos.djgpp: 16-Feb-98 Allegro program crashes win..
