> This worked 1% of the time. Because of the cooperative multitasking in win 3.1, 3.11, 95, 98 and Me the usual way out of this was reset or power off.

Only Win 3.1 used cooperative multitasking (and only when running on a 286). All others used preemptive multitasking.

Windows 3.1 on a 386 used preemptive multitasking, yes, but only between Windows as a whole and other DOS programs you were running. Within Windows, win16 apps were cooperatively multitasked even on a 386.
