A faculty member in our department has a serious problem with his
computer under Windows and Desqview.

He has a Northgate 486/33.  Under straight DOS 5.0 he has no 
trouble accessing the floppy drives.  However, under Windows 3.0,
Windows 3.1 or Desqview, he cannot access the floppy drives without
it locking the system down -- forcing a reboot.

He ran QAPLUS for the DMA tests that it offers.  Under DOS, none of
the DMA tests fail.  Under Windows or DesqView, the DMA Page
Register test fails.  

Northgate sent him a new HD/floppy controller but it made things
worse.  He went back to the original that came with the computer.
There is just something not right with his computer under Windows
or Deqsview, but we can't figure out what it is.

Any help would be appreciated.  Please post replies directly to me.
Thanks in advance for your help.
