Anyone have any idea why printing in Microsoft Word (5.0) running under
Windows 3.0 using QEMM for memory management and PCNFS might intermittently
cause the following message:

		DEVICE CONFLICT

'Microsoft Word' is attempting 
to use the LPT2 device,
which
	<alphabet soup displayed here>
is currently using.  Do you 
want 'Microsoft Word' to take 
control of the device?
	Press Y for Yes or N for NO:

At this point, all is lost -- the machine locks regardless of which
response is given....

Help.  Thanks in Advance.
