First of all, I am a computer technician / consultant and I see A LOT of Win95,98,NT,Unix/Linux,Dos,etc.. machines.. In my experiences, Win 95, and 98 crash the most with or without DJGPP. On my computer, I have a 4 gig and a 1 gig drives multi-booting with Linux, Win95 OSR2, and True DOS 6.22 Once again, the Win95 partition crashed the most...even before I put DJGPP... Dos only crashed when I poke around some unknown memory areas programming games but that is my fault...other wise it is VERY stable.. Oh, I have YET to see Linux crash no matter what I do... go figure.. Anyway, to answer your question...it sounds like a hardware problem.. do you have a lot of conflicting devices in your device manager??? -cya -Chuck -- ()-()-()-()-()-()-()-()-()-()-()-()-()-()-()-()-()-()-()-()-()-()-()-()-()-( )-()-()-()-()-() E-MAIL is CRYPTED...Remove the 'x's' when sending...
