    A friend of mine also sees 'Carmen do some dastardly deeds'.  His
    version seems to lose the mouse driver.  It starts up normally and
    runs fine for a few screens then stops making any sounds and soon
    after mouse clicks are not processed.  Now for you mystery lovers
    out there:  all is back to normal for a little while if the screen
    saver kicks-in then its back to hang city.  No, it does not always
    croak in the same place.
    
    My suspicion is a memory problem, i.e. not enough of some kind of 
    memory.  It wants 590K of low mem -- and gets it but maybe someelse
    is eating (or fragmenting?) upper memory so it loses itself.
    
    Any ideas?

    Can't get latest drivers to install.  We get a message that it can't
    find the file though we have directed it to a directory with the latest
    drivers.  Maybe it really wants to find those on a floppy?
