Solve : Win95 lockup problem?

Answer» <html><body><p>I've got a small problem with Windows 95, on our old HP Pavilion 7285 200mhz PC.  Windows 95 starts up normally, and runs very fast most of the time.  But when I go into an MS-DOS game, and exit <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/back-389278" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about BACK">BACK</a> to Windows, the screen freezes.  Is there any fix for this?  I tried using PC Doc Pro, but although it fixed registry errors, the problem still occurs.  As of now I'm trying to avoid the problem by shutting down and going to MS-DOS before I attempt to use a DOS <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/program-246414" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PROGRAM">PROGRAM</a>.Hey, Darth, I feel like we are old friends now.<br/><br/>Are any conflicts showing in Device manager/ Is this a reasonably fresh install? When you  restart in DOS does everything work there as opposed to doing this as a DOS program under Windows/ Sometimes the latter can be problematic.
