If that doesnt solve the problem it sounds like the classic 16 bit
application crash..
ie: running 16bit apps and 32 bit apps together at the same time can cause
major problems..its to do with the way a 16bit program takes the processor
time ie: all at once.. unlike 32bit apps which can share processor time
with no problems
