Re: warning re New computer; Tame v5.0 RC1



on my wife's pc which has the same hardware as mine and only differs in that her pc has windows 2000 rather than xp, I start xywrite by going to the dos prompt icon which is located in the quick start tray immediately to the right of the start button.  Once at a dos prompt, i start xywrite by a bat file.  The bat file is
 
c:
cd\xy4
editor/e8000
 
I follow the same proceedure on both hers and mine to start xywrite
 
On her pc as on mine, I have the same problem.  Most of the time when I leave xywrite the window which had the dos prompt from which I started to use xywrite, freezes.  The whole pc is not froozen, just the window.  Usually I am able to simply alt tab and close the window.  the reason it is annoying is that usually after I leave xywrite it is to go either to word for word or wordperfect.  All my other dos prgrams are also started with a bat file.  I do not have the same problem when leaving wordperfect or word for word or jcal.
 
any suggestions or advice .

since my computer died and my new one is still on order I cannot respond about properties until it arrives.  I had been going to the dos prompt through an icon in the quick start tray next to the start bottom. 
 
 
I note that I am having the same problem on my wife's pc  which was the same as my old one that died except that it had win2000 instead of xp, I am wondering whether the freezing on exit is a function of hardware rather than software. 
 
Thanks for the interest and advice which I followed on ordering my new pc and I did drop the idea of dual booting.  It is ironic that after all that discussion on dual booting I was told by the distributor that his version of Lindows does not work in dual booting mode.
 
any thoughts on using a win98 dos prompt boot disk when you want a session when you are just working in dos and have no need for windows apps and just want to work in dos without any problems.
