First of all, COOL! New release!!!!!. Next, I kept very few drivers under MS-Dos's config.sys

\himem.sys
\vide-cdd.sys
\xmsdsk R: 199606
dos=high,umb

Next, I try win.com command to execute the Win98 OS. I load it successfully. I come back to MS-Dos mode using it's shutdown menu. run wboot (provided in resourses folder) Next, I get choices Windows XP || Windows 98. I choose WinXP. Now I hibernate and Start PC... Result? can't get out of hibernation!!!!

Possible causes: EasyBoot did not clear memory completely after a menu command was pressed. Some kind of "particle" got resident in memory. I might be crazy but did I find a bug here?
:p  Ofcourse, this becomes important for me because some times we guys have problem with basic DOS files (autoexec or config or msdos.sys etc etc)

Yes, wboot.com does not clear system memory. You can try reboot.com, which should work.

Yeah right :D  Now I was expecting something better then that ;) But does Ezboot clear its aquired memory after an item is selected?  ??? I think it does... ??? due to the point you made me aware of...

Okey forget about it... but now, I went a little deep in it. I tried the nomal boot procedure from C:\ drive itself. Used wboot and performed the steps above and Windows XP got out of hibernation!! Perhaps now you would think something suspecious here  ???


OH BY THE WAY, YOU DID MANAGE TO SOLVE TWO BUGS OF MINE!!!! I HAVE DVD-ROM AND I CAN FEEL THE FIXED BUG ;)

AND YES, NOW THE CONNECTIX VIRTUAL PC SHOWS SPLASH SCREEN CORRECTLY ;) BEFORE IT USE TO SHOW BLACK BARS OR WEIRD BLACKNESS UP TO HALF OF THE SCREEN AFTER FIRST SPLASH. THUMBS UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
