: Hello all you windows freaks out there.
: 
: I bought Windows 3.1 (dutch version) some time ago, and run it on a
: 286. I recently upgraded my computer to a 486DX33, 256K cache, 4M memory,
: 212M Maxtor HD. Works real fine, but not with windows.
: 
: When playing Patience (SOL) or minesweeper, suddenly the system hangs:
: - I just can't move my mouse anymore.
: or
: - Screen goes blank, nothing further
: or
: - Screen goes blank, computer seems to reboot, but stops before reaching
: the end of the memory test.
: 
: Once (or maybe even twice) I got a message about some illegal kernel call
: or something (accompanied by a hex adress) and a close-button. When pressing
: it, the application wouldn't close, though.
: 
: I haven't experienced this problem with other programs than these, but that's
: mainly because I haven't really used other programs. I suspect them to hang 
: too.
: 
: Anything known about this problem. (Or, better, any patches available?)
: 
: 
: Oh, forgot to tell, if, in CMOS RAM, I make the computer faster (higher
: bus speed, less wait states, enable both caches etc), the crash comes
: faster (after 10 min. or so). If I deliberately slow the system down
: (slow bus speed, wait states, disable internal/external cache, no

Hi,

I got a problem too, with a 486DX2-66 VLB, 4 Mb RAM,  170Mb disk.
Sometimes, when I switch on the computer, it starts Windows (3.1 Dutch)
Windows switches to 1024x768, switches back to text-mode and exits
to DOS. After one or two resets, the system works fine...
