Greetings all;

        Thanks to John and Rick who responded to my question. I had already
increased the stacks in config.sys, but had not done so to the maximum
of 64,512 as suggested. This did finally solve the problem while running
Win 3.11, but I was still unable to install video card drivers for the
ATI Wonder while in DOS 6.22. The error messager similar to
"Insufficient stacks, disable TSR's" comes up during the exploding of
the files from the floppy to the HD. However, this is very much a minor
issue.
        Thanks again.

Bill
