I was having trouble with W4W hanging when I clicked FILE and PageMaker 4.0 returning me to a DOS prompt frequently. Removing SMARTDRV solved the problem. On a recent phone call with MS Support: "Don't run SMARTDRV unless you absolutely have to, it has caused some mysterious problems in the past." I use 386MAX 5.0 as a high memory manager. It loads the network and mouse software into the 640-1000K region. When I installed it, it kept hanging. The tech support person said, "Is SMARTDRV running. I said "No" and he said "Good" Its not a real cache anyway." He then went on to say I should use a cache similar to PC-Tools or the one that Qualitas offers. (Qualitas distributes 386MAX). I have 4MB RAM on this box and would definitely agree: Windows with less than two meg isn't worth installing. --- Dan Aksel
