- I've been having similar problems with my system after installing a
-
- GVP 040 combo with attached 120 Meg hard drive. The first time it
- happens in the morning, even the three-fingered salute doesn't work.
- I haven't been able to isolate it to a particular program though.
- I put in echo commands into the startup sequence to try and find
- out where the problem is occuring, and it hasn't happened since.
