I've heard quite varying reports about Allegro compatibility with NT:
some people say it works, others that things go terribly wrong. It would
seem that your system is one of the latter :-)

I don't have NT, so there is nothing I can do to improve this. If anyone
wants to find some workarounds for the things that are causing problems,
you are of course very welcome, but I don't really care about this
myself. If you want to use code like Allegro that does lots of direct
hardware access, use an operating system that properly supports such
programs...
