Hello.

I am running win 3 in enhanced mode under DOS 5.0. My setup exhibits two
"irregularities":

o If I run DOS in a window, and then type in "undelete" to undelete a file,
  the window goes full screen, but works correctly. System seems to be fine,
  and I can alt-enter back to window mode.
o Very often (almost every other time?), win3 will not start! I type in win /3,
  the MS logo comes up, and then the system goes on a coffee break. I can 
  normally reboot and try again and it works. This never happened under DOS 3.3
  which I was running before.

I am running hyperdisk 4.20 (shareware version), and have DOS 5.0 loaded into
high memory, along with hyperdisk, doskey, and a mouse driver.

Can anyone recreate either symptom? The first one should be easy to check out.

Thanks for any info.

Milan
