Yes, this has happened to me too once (yesterday). It happened as I was
repeatedly knocking on the wall (out of frustration :-) ). The hand
disappeared but I could still play by guesswork.

That also happened when my hand disappeared. I figured that I had clicked
on the character without knowing it. I tried my best to click back on that
spot, and it came back. 


DMII seems to be crashing much more often than DM ever did. It has become
almost unplayable my friend's computer (2000, 2meg extra on 8-up board(?),
GVP 100meg). On my system it tends to do wierd things from time time, and I
have a 500w/A590 hard drive, 2 meg total. Would it be having problems with
expansion memory?
