- Well, I haven't had the 'same' problem, but sometimes my DOS window won't
- close when I exit the program. All the settings are checked and double
- checked and I can't find anything wrong with it. Anyway, I try to close the
- window by double clicking or selecting close from the menu. I sometimes have
- to do it 4-5 times. Sometimes, after one try, the window would close after
- about a minute or so.
-
- Anyone with any idea? (One of the programs that cause this is Wolf3d.)

- How long do those Energizers last anyway?
- I don't know, I have rechargables.
