aus,

Do you mean that you think tht it might be software related?

You want me to boot to DOS, and leave on .... if the problem does not
happen, it means that the problem is software and not hardware? Is this

You are the first person that has thought (as I did) that the problem was
more software than hardware.

I can do this, but it can only be done next weekend, when everybody is gone.
