>    What *exactly* does Unrecoverable Application Error mean?

For about a month, I had this problem with Windows 3.0.  I tried everything
to fix the problem -- or to even identify the problem -- and failed.  It
happened randomly, and for no apparent reason.  In fact, several times the
\windows directory just vanished, leaving about eight zillion lost clusters
for NDD to clean up.

I tried re-installing Windows on a clean system (no autoexec or config) and
it still died.

Finally, service came out and took a look.  They said the disk controller ROM
was old and exchanged it with a new one.  I haven't had the same problem
since.

I still don't trust it, though...
