I just managed to pinpoint the problem ... believe it or not, it's my
mouse driver. If I load the standard Microsoft mouse driver, my mouse
won't work but I can load Executor. When I switched to the driver that
comes with the mouse, my mouse works but i was dumped back to DOS
prompt after running Executor.
Running 'mem /c' showed that cwsdpmi and go32 are still in memory and
the PC would just hang after that.
I'm not sure where the mouse driver is from coz it's a no brand mouse
but i believe, it's Logitech compatible .... is there a new version
somewhere on the Net?
