: Hi, : only just noticed this thread - and you've figured it out anyway. : Just for a bit of info - : the way the DOS shell in AOS is done has changed a few times of the last few releases. : Mainly to get a bit more memory, or to stop problems with older DOS programs. : If you go out to the DOS shell in AOS in a windows DOS box - then click on the window to close it : I'd guess that Windows couldn't possible clean up all the BIOS/DOS hooks that are in there correctly : (hence the warning from Windows ;)) : Previously - the DOS shell was actually running inside another PM shell, so if you closed that using windows - it had a fair chance of doing a half decent clean up job (since it had to shut down an app which was using Windows as a DPMI server - so they were talking to each other). : Anyway, generally AOS is doing lots of sneaky stuff behind the scenes, : so to guarantee a tidy clean up; you really need to exit from AOS, rather than just close the DOS box. : Brian : ----- : : I believe I figured it out. I can't believe how : : stupid this might seem. 1. I execute Arcadeos : : through a Dos box. 2. Play mame, then exit to : : the Mame directory(still in Arcadeos). 3. Now, : : in the past, when I want to exit out of Arcadeos, : : I would always click my knob on my data transfer : : switch box to use my vga monitor(still following?) : : What would then be on my vga monitor is what was : : left on the arcade monitor.(dos box of arcadeos)Now, : : finally what I would do to close everything out, : : was to click the right hand corner of this dos box. : : You then get the normal propmt about the proper : : way to shutdown this app(or something like that), : : and that all info will not be saved. blah..blah. : : This is how I did it in the past, no problem. Now, : : after experimenting, I am finding out that if : : I shut down in the above manner, my cpu stays at 110% : : usage and my computer is very "doggy". But, when : : I exit out of arcadeos(through arcadeos. .you know, : : the last selection in the menu.) The cpu problem : : is no more :). Kind of stupid huh? This never : : happened in previous versions of Arcadeos, so : : I wonder if some different code is in there now, : : or perhaps left in, that was not there before? : : Let me know if this sounds right to you? Thanks again : : guy's!
