I have a CompuAdd 386/16 with 1.44Mb and 1.2Mb floppy drives and 4Mb of
memory. I'm using Windows 3.0.
When I select a floppy drive from either the File Manager or an
application, I always get the File Manager window all stretched out and
strange for a split second and then the machine reboots. The same
exact thing happens whether I'm in the File Manager or in an
application.
What could the problem be? I can get directories of the disks in either
drive from the DOS prompt with no problem.
This only happens in protected mode; in real mode it doesn't seem to
have any problems, except that the software I'm trying to access needs
to be run in protected mode. (It doesn't matter what I try to access,
whether it's the software I want to install or just to get a directory
of any disk in either drive.)
