Greetings-
	I have recently upgraded to a new machine (20MHz 386sx w/ AMI BIOS 2Mb)
, additionally I now am using EGA and MS-DOS 4.01.  But unfortunatly one
of the applications I hoped would benifit from a 386 environment (win3)
now hangs at the logo stage.  The ega.sys spews out something about "Warning!
loading ega driver on top of another ega driver" and names off some addreses and
concludes with something to the effect of "using default [addresses] ega
driver installed."  So I tried installing it for CGA, it hung in the same
place.  I have been reading that some of ya'll have had problems with large
hard disks so I guess it's worth mentioning that I am using two fixed disks
formatted to 42 and 43 Mb dos 4.01 partitions.  Additionally still others
have reported very long loading times on SX machines so I gave the thing
half an hour to load (windows stops hitting the disk after about 15 sec.) 
	Has anyone had such problems?  I would greatly appreciate any 
suggestions.  I guess that gent from microsoft can chalk up another bug...
maybe.

			Thanks in advance,
			-Dave
