First I thought it was because of a program I wrote using lots of
'malloc'/'free'-s. But then I found a very simple sequence of 
actions leading to the same 'nice' dialogbox:
 
 "NOT ENOUGH MEMORY TO LOAD THIS APPLICATION"  
 (or something like that) 
  
  Example: 
   
   I have, for example, the following directory-structure on F: 
 
   DIR1 
      FILE1.1
      FILE1.2 ... 
   DIR2      
      FILE2.1 
      FILE2.2 ... 
   DIR3
      FILE3.1
      FILE3.2 ...

*  I double-click on DIR1 and I see FILE1.1 and FILE1.2     
*  I go UP and double-click on DIR2 and I see FILE2.1 and FILE2.2
*  I go up again 
*  NOW: do a SHOWINFO on drive F: getting some info. 
*  I double-click on DIR1 and I see FILE1.1 and FILE1.2
*  I go UP and double-click on DIR2 and I see FILE2.1 and FILE2.2
?  Going up and double-click on DIR3 and I SEE: "O BYTES O FILES" !!!!!!! 
?  AND: trying to start an application.... right... OUT OF MEM... 
*  RESET, dclick of DIR3 and there are my files again. 
 
It looks like that any directory I dont open is empty after a showinfo! 
No matter how hard I click on a dir the computer won't even read
something from disk. Thinking that some utility was the cause of the
problems, I removed them all (thus FILEFIX.ACC TURBO_ST etc etc), but 
it stays the same.  
So or if have some VIRUS or my harddisk is a little disturbed. I think
it is the last option. Somebody told me that using TURBODOS can cause
trouble with your harddisk! IT THAT SO!
  
Somebody tell me what went wrong.
