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!
