[comp.windows.ms] Pauses...

dve@zooid.UUCP (system operator) (08/09/90)

2mb to smartdrv (512k reserved) with the working ATI 800*600*16 driver. It 
worked fine in the last few weeks but now for some reason every once in a 
while it just pauses for up to 45 seconds then continues operations. I am 
running a DOS program (Waffle BBS, using COM2) at the same time, and 
sometimes when then happens it goes full screen into Waffle and gives me a 
drive reading error, which is solved by pressing (r)etry. However this is 
obviously not a good solution, especially since I run the BBS all day while 
I am at work. Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening and a 
possible solution? I have no unusual TSR's or drivers loaded, just himem. I 
am letting my AMI motherboard shadow video BIOS, but nothing else is fancy 
or unusal. My Logitech mouse is on COM1.

Thanks.
