- It may help to disable the 'Save Configuration on Exit' option (Configure|
- Preferences) to avoid future problems. If you crash Windows or get GPF's and
- go back to DOS to restart Windows (instead of rebooting), NDW may write
- corrupted data to its config files and make it impossible to restart. I
- deleted the files in the NDW directory that had been modified since the last
- time I successfully used NDW. That seems to be the solution.
