I just managed to pinpoint the problem ... believe it or not, it's my 
mouse driver. If I load the standard Microsoft mouse driver, my mouse 
won't work but I can load Executor. When I switched to the driver that 
comes with the mouse, my mouse works but i was dumped back to DOS 
prompt after running Executor.

Running 'mem /c' showed that cwsdpmi and go32 are still in memory and 
the PC would just hang after that.

I'm not sure where the mouse driver is from coz it's a no brand mouse 
but i believe, it's Logitech compatible .... is there a new version 
somewhere on the Net?
