Are there any known issue with DOS application and P4 Celeron processor?

I am having some strange problems with this new machine running XP SP1
with Celeron 2.4Ghz processor.

Everything in window works great, but some DOS applications, command
line ones, fails to start/display information correctly. However they
do seem to get executed correctly. Something's wrong with the
displaying routine.

Why am I posting on this group?

when I do gcc -v on this machine, I get

Reading specs from c:/devtools/djgpp/lib/gcc-lib/djgpp/3.31/specs

and that's it! if I run gcc by itself, I get nothing.

the classic PGP 2.6 also fails to display information correctly. (pgp
-kv does not display any user) however pgp -e (to encrypt) seems to
work correctly.

I compiled a hello_work app using djgpp, nothing gets displayed.

I have another machine, a almost identical P4, everything works great....

Has anyone seen this before?

Raymond
