Greetings...

I know this is probably not the ideal place to post this question, but I want to know if anybody else has stumbled upon this problem...

I have a fairely new computer (AMD Athlon processor) wich has the bad habbit to just freeze whenever I am playing any DOS type of game... I have no problem to start the game, neither to star playing it... but 9 times of 10 the computer just hangs up suddenly, then it refuses to respond to anyting besides shutting of the power...

Anybody encountered this problem or anyone who has a solution???

I had that problem, but when I had 486. In game Colonization this 'bad habit' happened sometimes on my comp. But, I must say, game also has this problem even on my Celeron with Win2000, but Alt+Tab solves the problem.
I suppose you have WinXP on your PC, haven't you? Then it isn't surpising. After 3 weeks or so having XP on my comp, most of my DOS applications (and even some of Windows too) started to crash to desktop. So, if you have WinXP, I suggest you to change it on something more well known. Then, I think, you'll solve half of your problems. At least, not all of your applications will crash.
