Wim:

I believe your problem may be with QEMM. I also had installed QEMM
on my TP750 Cs and encountered problems. I spent 45 minutes on the 
telephone (long-distance) with their technical support. No luck on 
solving all the problems. Some were solved, others arose. The technical
people then acknowledged that they have not had good results with their 
product and IBM's TP series, and that basically their product was not
compatible with this hardware - not very reassuring.
I've since removed QEMM from my TP and most of the bugs have disappeared.
Windows still seems to create some problems.
