Hello. I am running win 3 in enhanced mode under DOS 5.0. My setup exhibits two "irregularities": o If I run DOS in a window, and then type in "undelete" to undelete a file, the window goes full screen, but works correctly. System seems to be fine, and I can alt-enter back to window mode. o Very often (almost every other time?), win3 will not start! I type in win /3, the MS logo comes up, and then the system goes on a coffee break. I can normally reboot and try again and it works. This never happened under DOS 3.3 which I was running before. I am running hyperdisk 4.20 (shareware version), and have DOS 5.0 loaded into high memory, along with hyperdisk, doskey, and a mouse driver. Can anyone recreate either symptom? The first one should be easy to check out. Thanks for any info. Milan .

I think that undelete, for safety, forces the system into "exclusive" mode, which implies full screen. > o Very often (almost every other time?), win3 will not start!

I'd suspect hyperdisk myself. Have you tried using Smartdrive instead? I know it is probably not as good, but it was designed to work in this environment. -- -- jwh
