I recently got Windows 2.01 for my Amstrad 1640 PC (which has an EGA mono
screen, Genius G6+ mouse and MC2400 modem).  I quite happily followed the
setup program expecting great things to happen.  When I typed
WIN to get it started everything seemed to be going well.  The MICROSOFT
banner came up, and the hard disk started to go, and then nothing....
The machine completely hung, and needed a complete power down to get
started again.  I tried reinstalling the program several times, with
no further success.  All other packages have worked perfectly up to now.

Can anyone help? I would hate to think I would have to miss out on
the joys of MS-WINDOWS completely.
