I recently installed (yesterday) DOS 5.0. In order to do it I needed to
repartition my hard rive. I decided to reinstall Borland C++ from scratch. When
I ran TKINST it told me that the "A20 was already enabled so test is
meaningless". I rebooted my system without HIMEM.SYS (which reported it was
using A20) and TKINST ran fine. However, when I ran BCX it put up the top menu
line and froze. Well, not exactly froze, my mouse cursor would still move but
nothing would happen (I couldn't even use CTRL-ALT-DEL to reboot).

My config.sys looks like this:

device=himem.sys
DEVICE=\DOS\SETVER.EXE
DEVICE=\DOS\HARDRIVE.SYS
device=\mouse\mouse.sys ser 2
DOS=HIGH
FILES=40
Buffers=20,8
SHELL=\DOS\COMMAND.COM C:\DOS\  /p /e:512

I am running a 286 clone with 2MB of extended memory, Trident VGA, and Logitech
mouse.  As a work-around I am currently using BC/X to access my extended 
memory and this seems to be working. Any ideas?
