	I do not think this is a frequently asked question:
I get an "unreoverable application error" message whenever I try run a non-win
application in a window in 386 enh mode. It always happens if I try to start
the appl in a window. If I start the appl in full screen mode and switch to
a window the same thing will happen after I try something not too fancy (eg.
view a table in Paradox 3.5). All the non-win appl that I have work
perfectly in full screen mode though. The same occurs when I try to run a
plain DOS shell as well.
	I have tried altering my pifs, but have had no luck as yet. Or 
might the problem be hardware related?
	I have an Osborne 386SX (16Mhz), 4 meg ram, standard VGA, running
Banyan Vines 3.1 over Ethernet.
	Any help would be appreciated.  --JBF@ariel.its.unimelb.edu.au
