- I used to be able to download in the background at 2400, but I can't
- anymore. Right njow I have a 386/40 with 8 megs of ram and a Diamond
- Stealth VRAM video card. I use qmodem so I set its background priority
- to around 350. I the execute the dos prompt (priority 50). I can start
- downloading, but as soon as I hit the hotkey to switch to dos, error! I
- never had this problem before. I eventually got mad and pruned windows
- from my drive and re-installed. HOW CAN I GET dloads to work?
