   My failure mode is more clear now...I ran CHKDSK /F within Win3, which
   is severely no-no'd somewhere in the back pages of the manual.  I ran
   CHKDSK because I got the following messages on screen:
	   Parity error but segment doesn't found
	   Press any key to continue
   After recovery, this message occurred again...I deleted smartdrive &
   no such message since.  I haven't found reference to this marginal
   English grammar message in the manual -- does MS hire a lot of
   foreigners? -- but it was alarming the first time I saw it.

(Tried mail, no luck)
The reason for the message being in such poor English is that it probably
was written by some Taiwanese programmer.  "Parity error" type messages come
from your BIOS, so you shouldn't blame MicroS*t.

The fact that getting rid of smartdrive fixed the error suggests that your
memory problem is somewhere in the extended memory -> run a memory test for
memory >1024k.
