	The small problem I have got with the EMM386.EXE is that it always 
	hang my machine whenever  CTRL-ALT plus any random key has been 
	pressed. ie no warm-boot for CTRL-ALT-DEL, and no CMOS set-up menu 
	for CTRL-ALT-s, nor enabling/disabling hard-cache. The whole machine 
	is just dead, all with the exception of within WIN3.1.

	Is that suppose to happen? Hardware problem? 
	or virus? (shouldn't be - I checked it) or whatever.
	Anyone else experienced this?

	Also in WIN3.1, unstable system occurs very frequently. I have also 
	no idea what's going on. Manual did not have anything on it. But 
	that is another problem to be dealt with later...

	I appreciate any help given.


	In my config.sys, I have got the typical settings...

device=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
devicehigh=c:\windows\emm386.exe noems
shell=c:\command.com c:\ /e:700 /p
dos=high,umb
files=50
buffers=30
lastdrive=f
stack=9,256
devicehigh=C:\utils\MODE\FASTBIOS.SYS
devicehigh=C:\utils\MODE\EANSI.SYS
devicehigh=c:\utils\mouse\mouse.sys SER 2

	NOTE: The present of noems parameter doesn't change anything. EMM386 
	      could not be conflicting with any other softwares I have.

	System: 486/33, 8MB RAM, 2HD/2FD, Sound Blaster Pro, Tseng SVGA.
	
	Thanks.
