When performing a drag and drop operation from win 95 I will periodically (rather frequently) get a total hang - cold reboot necessary. &nbsp;It doesnt appear to be related to any particular program that is running at the time (save for win 95 of course...:P) but it does appear to occur more frequently when there are a large number of things going on at one time (i.e. word, excel, matlab, mathcad). &nbsp;Initial thought was that it was a modem/mouse com port or IRQ conflict, but I totally removed the modem from the hardware listing and to no avail. &nbsp;Also with current setup it shouldnt conflict anyway. &nbsp;Next thought was a bad mouse, but I borrowed a friends and that had the same problem. &nbsp;I am now down to the thoughts that it is either<br />
a. &nbsp;bad serial connection to motherboard<br />
or<br />
b. &nbsp;video problems<br />
<br />
Any ideas?
