Sit down, take a deep breath, and be more specific.  Windows works just fine
under DOS 5.0 for everyone in our building who has tried it, with one 
exception: the DOS 5.0 EMM386 prevents Standard mode.  However, all my icons 
came up just fine after the upgrade.

What are the symptoms?  Did the icons disappear, or do the old icons just not
work any more?  Did you run out of disk space?  Are you talking about
non-Windows apps?  If so, are you using a PIF and could your COMMAND.COM have
moved to a different directory?
