- I've got an annoying problem with my 486DX machine at work. I'll use the
- MEWIN (microEmacs for windows) to write my C code and a DOS box to
- compile, link and test it. I use the ALT+TAB key to switch between the
- DOS box and MEWIN.
-
- The problem is that sometime the DOS box hang when doing a command.
- It is not possible to reproduce the hang. In other words - the hang
- occure at random times and at random commands. This is very annoying.
-
- The funny thing is that I got an 386DX at home with exactly the same
- configuration, and I'm doing exact the same thing, but there I don't get
- any hang at all (even if I switch between MEWIN and the DOS box from
- morning to evening).
-
- Have anyone else had the same problem? Is there any fix to this?
-
- Some facts:
- 486DX 33 Mhz
- 16 Mbyte memory
- Windows 3.1
- DOS 5.00
-
- Thanks in advance!
