Endnote + for dos is really giving me headaches:
Symptoms   running endnote in a windows dos box
           load library of ~250 records
           I can switch back and forth between windows & endnote at this time
           the problem arises when ever I go back into windows and try
to run            any program that accesses the hard drive (file
manager, notepad..)
           Then the entire system locks up, requiring a softboot.
Does anybody have an idea as to why this is occurring? 
    I have tried a few things, but there was no effect.
Is it the size of the endnote library? 
    Endnote and winWord were working fine about two weeks ago (I have
added       about twenty references since then).
What are the best PIF settings for endnote+?

Thanks,
