When I run a DOS session, full screen or windowed, it works ok the first time, but therafter I get an error when I try to run a session. I am not even running any programs in the session ... just starting it. When I asked for help on the exception, I get a messgae saying it was from a DosRaiseException. I have sucessfully run both Qbasic and IBM edit :-), but after quitting, as always cant start another DOS session :-(. I am running in VGA mode, on a very under powered, under resourced machine. This is all just an experiment really but I do want to get DOS working properly. Anyway, the machien is a 386 DX 33, 4Meg RAM and ... 40 Meg HDD. Yes, I have OS/2 Warp installed, and it actually works - meaning I can play around with things, play chess etc :-0. I have a few meg spare on the disk, so have only had a couple of "out of swap space" messages so far. I have no idea what the video card is BTW, that is partly why OI am running in VGA. Also, the HDD is swapping so much, I think it may die soon :-). I have installed support for DPMI, XMS, EMS (? - anyway, all three, maybe I should none of them...). Any help is appreciated! Thanks, Paul
