I'm babysitting two machines, one running DOS 4.0, the other DOS 4.0 and win3. Today, both machines locked up, one entering WordPerfect, the other while running WordPerfect. They both gave the same error: Internal stack overflow System Halted The only solution for either was to cold re-boot the machine. Apparently, the machine running win has had this problem before, but the other one hasn't. Hardware and software configurations available if needed. Any help with this would be most appreciated. Please e-mail directly - I don't get nearly as much time to read news as I would like. I will gladly post a summary if interest warrents. Thanks again in advance for your help. Brett btw - if this has been covered lately, I would appreciate someone sending me any collected lists of correspondace on the topic. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Just the opinions, ma'am." | Brett Shepard | Close your eyes and Go ahead, crash our system! | Ball State University | pretend that there is UUCP: shepard@bsu-cs.bsu.edu| Muncie, IN | a fancy graphic here -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, concidering that today is April fools day, this might be the effects of a virus that activates on April 1 of the given day. Personally, I set my computer's clock to April 2nd *yesterday* to stop the stupid viruses. :-) -J jpl5@cunixb.cc.columbia.edu
