[comp.windows.ms] Windows Crashing!

hoek@smaug.cs.hope.edu (Steve &) (05/15/91)

Has anyone had this experience:  I run a 286-20 w/ 4megs and Win3 with the
Orchid 800x600x16 driver (TSENG3000).  When I run a DOS app (Quicken, 123, 
whatever, and try to go back to Win3 with ALT-ESC, the system says: "Swapping"
and then reboots the machine (a hard reboot too!).  When I run the standard
640x480 VGA driver, this does not happen.
 
Any ideas out there?  Thanks...

Try adding TaskSwitchInt6f=no in your system.ini under [NonWindowsApps].
Then maybe try Alt-Tab instead of Alt-Esc.
