I am running Windows 3.1 on a 386 and suddenly have begun having trouble 
reading two floppy disks (either drive) in succession. For when I install 
the second diskette, it still reads the directory from the first. 
Thinking it might be the cache acting up, I discontinued all use of 
floppy/hard disk caching, but to no avail. I can no longer install 
software from within Windows. I think it probably has something to do 
with changeline support in Windows, but I am uncertain what steps to 
take. Any ideas?
