Indeed: http://derrick.xf.cz/bugg0r.AVI - appaling quality, but you should see the command line a bit. The version I'm running is 2007...

Anyone having the same bug as Troy has, please let me know.

Otherwise I will welcome any further test results. :)

@the VirtualPC issue - are you using v8086 mode by any chance (specifically, VME?)

If the 16-bit fdd driver is used, Derrick will do pmode to rmode switching. The same does the HELLO command and VPC seems to have no difficulties with the switching (Win95 did it too, maybe). But no VM8086.
