If your DOS compatibility box hangs randomly, you probably have an older 286 chip - early releases of this chip, as I was told, had a timing problem when switching modes. Later releases cleared this problem, and supposedly the problem was never present in '386's. (Therefore, you shouldn't have this problem on a '386.) D.L.
