Have you tried running with the /s or /r switch when running Windows ?
If it works with the win /s or win /r command, then you may have a non
supported VGA card that wont support 386 enhanced mode. Or maybe a memory
conflict of some sort in which case you will have to modify a certain
section of one of your .ini files in the windows sub-dir. It explains it 
in more detail in the manual. Also, does it really hang the system or 
is it running but you cant see what is going on ? This could be a clue as 
to wheather it is the VGA card or not. You might also try running the 
windows setup and select a differant type of VGA card.

God luck.
