Hi Steve!
Answering a message from Steve Hinkle to Daniel Paquet:
 SH> thanks for the Info, i was told to re-format the HD and that would
 SH> cure it, but i have not gone that far yet!! I want to be sure its not
 SH> something else, its a old 486sx 25 with a DX2 50 chip in it witch
 SH> runs at 66hz, 
Ouff ... this system is definitely running out of it's specified range. Doing 
things like this will often cause a system to behave strange..
 SH> it real strnge system, i keep getting stacks over flow
 SH> errors, not mater if i set stacks in config,qemm or himem.sys but
 SH> give out the same errors so it has to be the system,unless its the
 SH> virus! Any more idea would help!! Thanks!
You'd better put it in the trash or run it at a lower frequency. If the CPU 
really is running at 66 MHZ it's round about 30% out of it's specification. 
Systems like this very often tend to behave like beeing infected by a 
computer virus.
