Has this problem occurred to you only immediately after startup? Or has it happened after returning from another application and trying to launch another? If so, which applications? I have had this happen a couple of times, but never immediately after startup. In addition to hanging completely (no mouse movement, no control panel), I get a black line across the desktop and occasionally some scattered dots at random locations. Do you? Keith, any ideas? I know I never experienced this under system 3.1. Thanks! Rich <jordan%lvva.span@sds.sdsc.edu>

I know I never experienced this under system 3.1. Thanks! None of us here have seen it. I'll pass this on, though. However, the questions you ask above are valid, with the following additions: - how much memory do you have? - what kinds of CDA's NDA's Inits setups files, etc. do you have? - what kind of 3rd party hardware do you have? - where are the applications (what kind of drives)? If anyone else has heard of this problem, let me know!!!
