That's fine. I was simply explaining why I stated that you should grab a
copy. Perhaps, next time you will understand what I mean when I use the
word grab in this context.

OK. To repeat a prior question. Did you make the dump on diskette or to
a hard drive partition?

There's not much more I can do with just the trap screen. I might be able
to discover addition clues by looking at a full dump file.

Also, if you look at only of your original trap screen posts, you wil see:

Reading A:\DUMPDATA.001 10-11-04 18:28:26

Exception in module:

Note that the module name is missing. For true kernel traps, this is
usally a reporting error and is corrected by newer kernels. I recommend
you reinstall the 14.100c kernel and see if this kernel can report the
actual module name.

Finally, at I noted in a prior post, the traps screen look more like
process traps than kernel traps. There is the possibility you may have
configured the kernel to trapdump on process traps.

Exactly what did you put in config.sys to enable trap dump?

If you have

trapdump=on

in config.sys, change it to:

trapdump=r0

and you will no longer kill your system when a simple process trap occurs.
If you have the trapdump statement set up correctly, then we need to do
further work to understand why the trap is occurring.
