Dear netter,

I ran into a problem running MS window 3.1 on my computer and ask for your
expert's help. The window 3.1 was pre-loaded on my 486-DX33 machine and 
had been working fine for one and half years until yesterday when I typed 
"win", it showed the Microsoft banner and then returned back to MS DOS. 
Then I reinstalled the Windows using the six original windows disk. The setup 
was successful and I can saw the Program Manager Graphics at the end of 
installation. However, after installation, whenever I type "win", it rebooted
the machine after showing the Microsoft banner. Finally I found that I can
run windows using the standard mode (type "win /s"), but not the enhanced
386 mode (when I typed "win" or "win /3", it rebooted machine). Since I don't 
have such problems before (I think I ran in enhanced 386 mode before), I am 
wondering if there is any software/hardware problem in my machine. I would 
appreciate any pointers on this.

Cheers,
