Win95 lockups after exiting GP2??

by Eva » Thu, 01 Aug 1996 04:00:00

         I'm running GP2 in DOS mode, but upon returning to Win95, my
PC will frequently lock up, and a neon green stripe will appear at the
top of the screen.  Always the same place, always the same color.
This has happened now and again for about a year, though it's
happening with much more regularity now that I'm running GP2.  I'm
using a 2MB Matrox Millenium, though I'm not convinced that's the sole
culprit.  Any ideas what it could be?  Please e-mail if it's no
trouble...thanks!!

After running gp2 (in dos mode) for about 5 minutes my mouse locks up
and i have to use keyboard for all the menus.  When I quit gp2 I get a
Floppy Disk Controller error on bootup unless i do a hard boot (reset
button or power cycle).
