The machine frequently hangs up. Sometimes the mouse cursor continues to move and CAPSLOCK, etc., lights go on working, in which case the machine can be reset using CTL/ALT/DEL. On other occasions, there is no keyboard or mouse response and the machine has to be turned off. The problem can be made to occur quite quickly by using the mouse to control Word. This happens with no other TSRs loaded other than VSHIELD and does not happen when it isn't loaded. Has anyone else experienced these problems? - -- Leila Burrell-Davis, Computing Service, University of Sussex, Brighton, UK Tel: +44 273 678390 Fax: +44 273 678470 Email: leilabd@syma.sussex.ac.uk (JANET: leilabd@uk.ac.sussex.syma)
