That is incorrect.  Don't get me wrong, it CAN happen, but almost all of the 
lockups I have experienced allowed me to close the offensive app and continue 
as if nothing had happened. I am running mostly Win 3.X apps, too, with a few 
actual Win95 specific applications.  What this discussion has to do with 
games, though, I have no idea. ;)
