Hi Tim,

No the video side of things is very stable. Having checked out the Symantec pages and noted other correspondence, I am now convinced that the culprit is Norton Anti-Virus 95 (version 2). It appears that the loading of the TSR component can cause lock-ups under certain circumstances. It's not too big a deal really. I can get dozens of successful startups and then one will lock up on me. The trouble is that I cannot prove that it is NAV that's causing the problem beacuse the problem is so intermittent. The good news is that my configuration is, otherwise, very stable. Once I get startup completed, I have no problems.

>>Windows 95 sometimes goes through the startup process as far as displaying the wallpaper and background then locks solid, requiring a re-boot. This is an intermittent problem and I'm having problems tracking down the cause. Bootlog.txt isn't reporting any failures at this stage, so that's no help.
