OS/2 will give Windows access to the soundcard and then Windows will hang on to it until it is closed. The configuration of the pre-install(local stores in Victoria) had OS/2 system sound enabled and windows sound enabled. Switching back to the desktop would consistently cause a hardware trap like you described. If you want windows sound card access.....disable OS/2 system sound to prevent this hardware conflict. You may also want to seek out ; CFGINFO4.ZIP to help with info and tweaking of your system, http://www.musthave.com for an assortment of OS/2 utilities and applications, and the "comp.os.os2..." usenet hierarchy for os/2 discussions.
