Excuse me for leaping in on someone elses response.  Another possibility is 
that, if he is running Warp <for> Windows (Warp on top of existing windows), 
he installed a program that modified the win.ini file to load a virtual 
device driver.  That will cause the same result.  Windows stops running.  
Good luck.
