TSRs were unreliable when they interacted with games and other graphical applications.
Eg, things like a calendar tool trying to pop up a reminder mid-game would often not end well.
- lathiat 4y agoMy 486 had boot sector protection in the BIOS. It would pop up a Y/N confirmation in text mode during boot sector overwrite. This froze the windows 95 setup in graphical mode. Although the text prompt appeared for whatever reason the Y/N didn’t work and we could never continue. So was never able to upgrade that machine.
