Hi Tim, 

the problem is, if the program is in a minimized Dos-Box and the User 
make it to a window or maximise it, then the user can not minimise it 
anymore. It will reboot the Computer, even if you are under Win98/NT.

You can lost all your Data...

I do not know why. If you let it untouched, it wil work like the heaven.
