I've had that same exact problem when I ran Usurper.  Damn maintenance mode
would lock up the machine tighter than a drum, but, when I put that into
its own batch file and CALLed it from the main batch file, it seemed to not
lock up and work.  But no one seemed to play it, so I took the trouble
maker out of the system.  I'm down to about eight doors on my board now,
that's it.

Later,
Sean
