I'm having a Desqview problem; any advice would be appreciated.  When I run 
a plotting program the plots on an HP 7550A pen plotter I get spurious errors 
of the sort

	An I/O error has occurred on device COM1
	Select: Retry Abort Ignore

If I select retry or ignore, the machine freezes.  I've called Quarterdeck
and they could only suggest that I change my foreground and background ticks
to 2 each.  That did nothing.

I'm running this on a 25 MHZ 386.

Please email any responses as I don't normally read this list.

Thanks in advance.
