I get this error when I hit a lot of keys in a short time (eg. if I
press my hand on the keyboard) while running the fireworks program
EXPLOD 2.0.  The too-many-interupts explanation offered by one of the
previous postings would explain this.  However, this problem only 
happens on my machine (a '186 with a "LEO PC" BIOS) and only under
DOS 3.2.
 
This problem was discussed in this group a long time ago... I don't
remember very clearly, but I think the conclusion then was that it was
partly a problem with DOS 3.20, and that DOS 3.21 corrected this. I
don't have DOS 3.21 so I can't verify this.  Does anyone else remember?
