 My laptop is a Thinkpad T42.

 Re. how I launch -- So do I. I was launching it from a batch file
 referred to in the shortcut. But I changed the launch to c:\xy4\
 editor.exe /e5120 yesterday. And I tested out the new setup twice
 yesterday and once again this morning by uninstalling and reinstalling
 Tame 5.1, pre 5.

 I did run Lotus Agenda, and it too crashed. And I got the same NTVDM
 message just before it booted me out of Agenda.
