Hi Keith, (and Ted Young, Nelson Ford, Costas Kitsos, Keith Pleas, Steve Camp and Jim McCullan…the infamous "shell gang", I hope I got everyone who has been in this thread.) I have found through the Windows gurus, that your problem has become an official and documented problem with with the Task Manager as of September 25. This is what I have recieved from them: ———————————————————————– 1)The problem occurs when: a) an FPU is present in the machine (eg 80×87) b) a WinApp is using the FPU c) a DOS app is using the FPU d) multiple task switches occur between b/c (note that this is possible, but may not always occur, hence this is difficult to track down) 2) The problem is caused by a minor (to the Developer Gods anyway) bug in the Windows Task Manager. The task stack gets confused, panics, then shoots itself in the foot. ———————————————————————— This has been added to the problem report for Windows and hopefully will be addressed in the next release of Windows. Another one for the Knowledge Base at least from my end… I want to thank you all for pushing this as an issue. With the support from you all, problems can be found to make this a better product.
