MS-DOS

Problem: When I create or open a word-processor file that takes several seconds to save and press CTRL-ALT-DELETE to restart before the save is complete, my machine stops functioning when I try to reopen the file.

Response: The identification number is being written when the file is beginning to save. If the file is not saved correctly, the file will cause the system to stop functioning.
