Hmm, sorry, I've no ideas left :( Should work. Nah, I have a 486. I thought you needed one or the other, not both. That's kinda why I was asking what it did. (You're sucker-punching a piece of hardware. Ok.) > This COM-progam ? It disables OS/2's scheduler by switching off the > interrupts and goes into an endless loop. I thought a program outside of ring 0 couldn't truly switch off the clock interrupt...? Something I read in an old "guts of the 386" book a long time ago. I mess with things in C++ wherever possible, protected mode assembly wasn't fun from dos, and I haven't been using OS/2 long enough to get that far. (I'm still arguing with make files. I miss my IDE.)
