As Shawn doesn't replayed yet I'll make my guess: Both of you tried the 
programs under different video boards. I don't think that Allegro can be 
affected by the processor speed (at least not crashing!) but the video boa=
rd 
can make that. Another thing to check is if the machine where Allegro dies=
 can 
run another PMode + Graphics programs.
