Included below is a posting from comp.os.ms-windows.setup.win3x. BTW I've also noticed that audio events do not work any longer after Calmira has crashed, and when I restart Calmira after a crash (FTaskman --> launch ctaskman --> restart Calmira? yes), shutting down Windows results in a GPF (in vdo16(...).acm) and I have to use Ctrl-Alt-Del to restart the computer; interestingly this also happens when no exit windows sound is being used. ----------------------------8<----------------------------------- Path: news.t-online.com!newsmm00.sul.t-online.com!newsfeed01.sul.t-online.de!t-online.de!newsfeed.media.kyoto-u.ac.jp!newshub2.rdc1.sfba.home.com!news.home.com!news1.frmt1.sfba.home.com.POSTED!not-for-mail From: mstroberg@xxxxxxxx (Mark W.

I have calmira 3.1 set up on wfw 3.11. When I run calmira as the shell program, I've noticed that certain audio application such as net2phone 8.67 and winplay3 (an MP3 player) report that the audio device is busy and therefore fail to function properly. This does not happen when calmira is run after starting windows, only when it is the shell program. Has anyone else noticed this problem, and is there a solution (other than simply not running calmira as shell)? TIA Mark W.
