- After installing 2.1 beta over GA+SP, printing crashes the
- system with a trap 000d error. I have worked around the
- problem by stopping printing during spooling and by moving
- the spool directory to my D drive. This problem is independent
- of video mode. I have 8 Meg, and with the earlier set up, I
- often had swap file growth, so all of the memory should have
- been `exercised'.
-
- With the work around, my video loses sync for about 2 seconds
- (trident 8900C with 1Meg) and then spontaneously recovers at
- the end of spooling, but I have only noticed this while in
- Win-OS2. Is this a known problem. I have not disabled spooling
- which was referred to in the readme file. I like the win3.1
- support, but if the beta is this flakey, I may go back to
- GA+SP which was very stable.
