Re: XY 3+ freezes in Win 98

[Norman Bauman nbauman@xxxxxxxx]

Pete,

In my case, it only happens when I'm also on-line. Otherwise it's very
similar.

I get the impression that the DOS window is competing for a location with a
Windows program.

Maybe you could change your settings to mine, and only lock up if you use
it on-line,

For starters, you could compare your Properties box settings to mine:

Conventional memory
Total: Auto
Initial environment: Auto

Expanded (EMS) memory

Total: Auto

Expanded (XMS) memory

Total: Auto
checked on Uses HMA

MS-DOS protected mode (DPMI) memory

Total: Auto


Is there anything else that could affect memory usage, or otherwise cause
this freezing?
