I missed the original posting...
Anyways, I recently seen a similar problem, but only stanger.
Windows *was* working, and then it was reinstalled because of a
printer change, and stopped working.  I think a logitech driver
(not sure of the version) was added in between.  The system doesn't
lock up, but does return to dos after the title screen.  Maybe it's
related to the logitch mouse?

One way for Microsoft to increase Microsoft mouse sales?  ;-)
