I have a problem with my system crashing when I exit windows. Many many files become corrupt and the system itself won't start. The windows directory is the main target for the corrupt files, and requires a complete re-installation, however I had to re-install about 6 apps, both dos and windows. The first crash occured when I had to reboot my machine before exiting windows, and the second crash was when I shut down windows and was wait- ing for the c prompt.Nothing extraordinary. I can use chkdsk/f to repair the lost files and then i transfer the system from my trusty boot diskette. After that, it's a guessing game to see what is blown and what is still useable. Can anybody tell me why it crashes and what can be done to prevent them? I run a 486sx with 8 mb ram, and windows 3.1 Any advice would be appreciated. Peter
