I get this error when I hit a lot of keys in a short time (eg. if I press my hand on the keyboard) while running the fireworks program EXPLOD 2.0. The too-many-interupts explanation offered by one of the previous postings would explain this. However, this problem only happens on my machine (a '186 with a "LEO PC" BIOS) and only under DOS 3.2. This problem was discussed in this group a long time ago... I don't remember very clearly, but I think the conclusion then was that it was partly a problem with DOS 3.20, and that DOS 3.21 corrected this. I don't have DOS 3.21 so I can't verify this. Does anyone else remember? --- Dennis Lo dlo@idacom.cs.ubc.ca
