I have a Tri-Star 386/20 with an ATI Graphics Ultra, 2 100MB IDE hard drives,
a 20MB logical drive as C: and two Stacker drives (D: 80MBx2, E: 100MBx2) and
a garden-variety modem, parallel port card, etc; I also have a Sound Blaster.
I run Mirror (and obviously Stacker) DOSKEY, and a few other standard DOS 5 
goodies.

Under Windows, I run BACKDESK as my shell, with Screen Peace, Change Cursor,
Wired For Sound, and File Manager. Loading Windows under these conditions
has produced the following bugs:

Spontaneous Crash of BigDesk, usually after some other winapp goes down
Crash of Backmenu on Windows Exit
Crash of WinGif on 256 color BMPs
Crash of Paintbrush (Win 3.1 version) on a number of BMPs
Crash of Word For Windows 2.0 in Word Art, and then later in normal document
 mode
Crash of Program Manager (!!!) when I attempt to delete empty program groups,
 plus one spontaneous crash
Failure of the DOS program Eye of the Beholder to load

...plus...

One mysterious, total system crash. Poof. In Program Manager.

There is other weirdness ... like the sound recorder's failure to run, and
funny fonts in some dialogue boxes (BackDesk's). But these are unimportant
(or have already been corrected; the recorder was easy to fix) compared to
the failure of my shell (BackDesk), my GIF viewer (WinGif) and my _word
processor_ (Word For Windows).

What gives? I have sound, 800x600 graphics, font display, mouse support,
and no problem from Stacker. None of the problems everyone else seems to 
have caused so much as a hiccough on my machine! Aiiieee ....

Unless I can get things to run or can replace the software, it's time to
pull the Windows backup from Drive E ...
