TIP #: 009
KEYWORDS: DESQview, System Hangs, Corruption
UPDATED: July, 1990
PROBLEM: When running DESQview, system hangs and file corruption occur
intermittently. Problems cannot usually be reproduced.
SYMPTOMS: Intermittent system hangs when operating with DESQview. Sometimes
files will be corrupted. Usually unable to reproduce the problem
consistently.
SOLUTION: Check your interrupts! Interrupt conflicts can cause all sorts of
strange problems. I still see people recommend using IRQ2 on an AT
class machine. IRQ2 is a cascaded interrupt for IRQ8 through IRQ15
and cannot be used. A lot of us upgraded from an XT and are used
to setting our systems up to use IRQ2. I moved my bus mouse card
from an XT to an AT and had all sorts of problems until I changed
the interrupt from IRQ2 to something that was not being used.
