  Have any problems arisen from AREV incompatibilty with

Continuation from original message. Curse laptop mini-keys

  As I was saying, AVER 2.1 runs fine on MS's version of WIN98

  yet, on a Toshiba proprietary ver, I lock up at sorting.

  Finding this very strange. Not only that, after I am forced

  to do a End Task on AVER, my sys is extremely slow - like my

  resources are dead. Sys properties shows 63% of 64 Mb free.

 Very weird here.

 Please send responses to Jeff_Palumbo@sgsgroup.com

 Thanks

As far as I know, the only vendor that ships a real machine specific version of Windows is Compaq, and that's only for a few of their machines. Most Compaqs are now generic clones like all the others. The customised versions you see are just bitmap and slight registry changes to show computer ownership. Been thinking about changing mine to Sprezzatura Windows, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

Could be how the system's managing memory and you're not allocating EMS properly. Also, Win98 has a known bug with a Logitec mouse so that background processing is always disabled, no matter what the setting is. After loading the DOS program, you have to reset it to what you want it to be, though this wouldn't cause the problems you are seeing.
