Sorry about the last post, user error.  Anyway I am having the same 
problem w/my 486DLC40 cpu.  The game runs for at most 10 seconds then it 
hangs.  I've tried a clean boot and it doesn't help.  But I did find that 
I can run it under windows NT.  I can tell it is a little slower than 
running in dos (at least from what I can tell in the 10 sec dos game) but 
at least it runs.  Any fixes would be appreciated.

-Daniel
