What service pack if any are you using? I recommend using SP1 only, unless
you absolutely must use SP3 for some hardware compatibility issue.
Be sure you are running TS in a protected memory space
(very important to do with 16bit programs)
To do this open windows explorer, locate the shortcut you use to start TS,
ie: c:\winnt\all users\start menu\programs\omega\whatever.exe
highlight the icon, then right click, select properties from bottom of menu,
then pick the shortcut tab, under the target path, check the box marked
Run in separate memory space, then click the apply button at the bottom,
then ok. Now when a bug in TS occurs and TS trys to overwrite
the same memory space the OS is using, it will not be allowed to do so.
32 bit programs already have this protection built into them when running in
NT4. I also recommend having Windows 95 installed in a dual boot configuration
and installing Norton Utilities to de-fragment the hard drive occasionally.
I have tested using the NTFS file system, but it takes too much of a performance
hit for me to use, plus you cannot access it under dos or windows 95 should
something happen.
Also be sure that the port you are using for the incoming data in correctly
configured for baud rate and flow control, and that fifo is enabled.

Pete
