I can't remember what I did (I was just 'clicking around') when I caused program manager to crash. Oops! Windows 3.1 in it's helpful way said 'No problem, I'll terminate this application'. So it did. Leaving me with windows running, but no way of talking to it.... All I could do was stare at the desktop (not even the wallpaper). >What did I do..... Is this common????? Do you care! >Peter. >(P.A.Brooks-Johnson@newcastle.ac.uk) This happens to me on occasion. MS has built in no way to call up program manager (or any other windows app) once this occurs, so you have to exit and return if you want to do something new. = Mark
