I actually use DOS more than Windows for my journalism assignments.
Occasionally I use Windows which is why I installed fuel for windows.
Once I had installed it, anytime I FN F2'd in DOS, the computer would
freeze up. The only way around the problem was to make sure I had turned
the Fuel for Windows off in Windows before exiting.
IBM told me they've been having a lot of problems with TP's that use
FUELDOS, and that the program is far from perfect. Luckily, they were
able to get my power management functions working again when I
re-initialized the computer (config.sys and autoexec.bat changes didn't work).
It was all very strange and I don't think either of us knew what we were
doing.
Thanks for responding.
