HELP!
My computer keeps locking up using Windows 3.1!  Does anyone else have a
problem where one is using windows and the computer just locks up as it is
or as it writes/reads a file from the hard disk (I have a 200MB IDE drive)?

I am using a 386/25 DX chip with an AMI BIOS (1989) and the motherboard oper
ates with 0 wait state and I have an expansion memory board from Boca Research
that operates with 0 wait state.

DOS is in the high memory area, I do not use an extended memory manager,
I have two programs (FASTOPEN and KEYB.COM) 'LOADEDHIGH' and I have 4 devices
in 'DEVICEHIGH' in CONFIG.SYS.  Do I need an extended memory manager for these
to work properly?  I have all of my memory set in extended so I use it in
windows but the computer keeps locking up!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
