I am running windows 95 and very often the computer locks up when i try to open up a Dos based program. Is it true that windows 95 has a problem with freeing up memory after closing a program and if so what can I do to remedy the situation? And then, after it locks up I usually have to reboot 3 times before the system comes up completely.

Try to set your DOS startup application:
-make a shortcut to launch DOS app
-in properties of this shortcut in program tab enable
-in the same tab, enter in options and enable
In Windows folder you can find file (if don't exist you can create this). In this file you can add specific line for devices you want to enable in DOS mode (mouse, sound blaster, CD-ROM, etc).
Hope this help you.
