[comp.os.msdos.desqview] DESQview on Toshiba T1000XE

I use DV 2.26 on my Toshiba T1000XE notebook.  It works great,
especially given that the processor is only an 8086, but I
do have one small problem.

The Toshiba laptops have a feature called "auto-resume",
which saves the state of the machine when it is turned off
and restores it when you turn it back on -- no need for
rebooting.  But I find that when running DV, about 10% of
the time the system will lock up when I turn it on with the
auto-resume feature enabled.

Is anyone else running a similar configuration and had the
same problem?  Does anybody have any suggestions?  Thanks.

 I have problems with "auto-resume" also. I only seem to get it after using 
 Turbo C++ (frequently) or Datatalk 4 (somewhat less frequently).

 I haven't been able to associate the problem with any particular activities
 within these products, much less been able to explain it or find a solution.

 On a related issue - is it possible to trigger "auto-resume" (i.e. simulate
 pressing the power switch) via software? What about forcing a re-boot?
