Well, because I was hoping to get some informed suggestions as to
what the problem might be. If the keyboard and mouse is locked
its difficult to know much more.

Do you have anything constructive to suggest?.
I've checked swap files are all set to the same size and permanent.
cache is 512
removed share etc from config.sys
run diagnostics on RAM (all pass)
the drives are IDE, I have 32 bit file access on
As I say, I've seen this before, but can't recall the cause or solution.
