- I've had some problems since installing the CSD. On my PS/2 at work,
- I've had DOS Windows lose keyboard control after switching between
- Windowed and Full-Screen (sometimes). I had something *really*
- strange yesterday. I would click on an icon for OS/2 Window, and
- it would start that session plus another PM app. I could not type
- all characters in the OS/2 Window, and clicking on that Window would
- not give it focus. I could focus the Window by maximizing it, but
- some keys did nothing. Others would display the <Ctrl> of that key.
- A reboot cleared it up, and it hasn't happened again (yet).
- At home last night on my clone (I've run the CSD for 3 days there),
- I had 3 hard lockups. Crtl-ESC had NO effect. I had to hit the
- reset switch. At the time, I was running 2-3 DOS Windows, one
- using the modem, and an OS/2 session. Nothing out of the ordinary...
