No, no freezing any more. Now I get the file:@:*.* and the mouse pointer is still on the screen. With ESC = back all functions as intended. All but: the CD-player, so this is a solution but not a nice one. There is another problem with the 486 ... too less colors. How to run the screen setup for HI-COLOR mode without losing the complete installation details like phonenumbers, passwords etc.? Arachne Video Setup does not work... 'try selected graphics mode' returns: Unable to initialize video mode - please run setup.bat This brings me into an endless circle... and sometimes to an FATAL runtime error. 16 colors is not that much...
