Just for testing I did un-comment $_ttylocks = "/var/lock" but that made no difference. I can start xdosemu and get the DOS prompt, just as soon as I start my app (ProcomPlus) my system freezes, keyboard and mouse are locked and a hard boot is required to get things back. Any other suggestions? Thanks again, Rick Knight
