I had my disk trashed twice over the weekend while playing Tie fighter. I
do not know if Tie fighter was the cause of it. Since i just upgraded to a
90Mhz pentium.

Anyway, all my problems went away as soon as I removed stacker from my
drive. If you also have stacker, you might want to try it.

Drastic, i know

P.S. I am also running QEMM, which might cause a conflict.

You know, any company that makes a game that ISN'T smooth on a 90 Megahertz
Pentium, (with I assume VL-Bus or PCI graphic card) should be taken out to
an empty field and shot.

My two cents. Then again, Origin will be coming out with some new games soon,
better load your rifles

Yes. I have a 386/40, and had been playing the maze and combat sim missions, and
finally wanted to go to the Battles. I selected Hoth, clicked on the door,
and the computer locked up. Tried several times, disabling disk caches,
Novell DOS 7 DPMS, and finally booted with DOS 5. No dice. My next
thing is to reload TIE...maybe i had a file corrupted somewhere.
