I'm pretty sure it's not bad code. It doesn't neccesarily happen when I run
something. In fact I might be editing and running a program a dozen times
before the crash hits as I try to access a menu (in EE) or something.

Okay, here's my hard drive problem:
  When I first got my computer with the original factory settings it had
some kind of conflict that caused it to have to run in MSDos compatability
mode or some such silliness. I lived with it until I got a game (Tomb Raider
II) that required 32bit disk access or something so it wouldn't work with
the MSDos compatability thing. I didn't know how to fix the problem but one
time I formatted my hard-drive and just to see if I could, partitioned my
hard drive into 2 pieces. Remarkably the compatability problem disapeared.
Note that I had formatted before and always restored the factory settings,
the only difference this time was that I partitioned my hard drive. After
that, I could run Tomb Raider II and have never had a problem like it since.
However, I suppose, there still might be a problem with conflicts that would
cause the error.

hope this helps explain,
Lewis Townsend

PS: Also my on-board sound card was an ESS-Audiodrive and wasn't compatible
with many soundblaster games. When I put a SB16 in, things
started to work but the old ESS still uses up an IRQ and stuff because it
can't be removed. Maybe I don't have enough to go around now (what with my
network card and all)
