Message-ID: Date: 8 Aug 90 20:58:13 GMT Organization: here Lines: 13 2mb to smartdrv (512k reserved) with the working ATI 800*600*16 driver. It worked fine in the last few weeks but now for some reason every once in a while it just pauses for up to 45 seconds then continues operations. I am running a DOS program (Waffle BBS, using COM2) at the same time, and sometimes when then happens it goes full screen into Waffle and gives me a drive reading error, which is solved by pressing (r)etry. However this is obviously not a good solution, especially since I run the BBS all day while I am at work. Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening and a possible solution? I have no unusual TSR's or drivers loaded, just himem. I am letting my AMI motherboard shadow video BIOS, but nothing else is fancy or unusal. My Logitech mouse is on COM1. Thanks.
