I've got some weird problem:

A few weeks ago, typing 'win' at the c:\> prompt brought me
back to c:\> immediately after the logo.
So I removed every windows stuff (backed it up) and tried to
install Windows 3.0 again. But, during the disk2, the system hangs
(I guess just before the graphical part).
No way to make the setup run again: I removed any TSR, any DEVICE,
nothing helped. WHAT IS IT? B.T.W., why did setup always put
something like DEVICE=EGA.SYS in my config.sys before (I've got a 386/25
and VGA)? Please, help me, it makes me mad.
