Hi Spiro, Robert is right, this is a known problem since version family 0.84 of our FreeCOM command.com shell...

We have a BIG problem because nobody can tell us how to MAKE it happen... You can use the old FreeCOM 0.82pl3, but then you have no support for long file names... You could help us a lot by finding a way to, say, "do things" with command.com which make that problem happen after only a few minutes. In other words, if you can explain a method like "if you do exactly this 10 times, then command.com stops to run any app". With this information, we could make the problem happen at the moment while we look with a debugger on our FreeCOM command.com, so we can see what exactly breaks and why it stops to run apps, so we can repair it :-). > rebooting is ok, but is there a way to prevent this? > i doubt it's memory, i have standard drivers (CD,Mouse,etc.) > and a Crynwr Driver Hmm okay, some well network drivers, in particular if you have emm386 (or jemm386 or jemm from japheth.de, which are newer) running at the same time, could reduce the stability of DOS. However, I would believe that whatever is broken in our FreeCOM command.com is simply broken - not "broken because you use a certain driver". Still it would be nice if you could email your config and autoexec files :-). > 2ghz Celeron Mobile > Intel ICH4 Chipsets (audio) I assume that is AC97, so DOS apps do not use it, only mpxplay does? > Intel-based NIC > 20GB HDD / 256Ram / FreeDOS and Win2k With Win2k on a separate partition which is not visible for DOS? > -Toshiba Laptop (2002) > Thanks for help Thanks for your help, too :-).
