Larry, I'm afraid I am gonna need ALOT of elaboration/clarification
on this paragraph, as I have not a clue as to what it means :-):

  "The installation started with a formatted hard drive, followed by the 
  Windows install, the SDK install, the addition of my autoexec.bat and
  Config.sys files, a new sub directory "programs\ecs" was created and I
added
  to it my ecs.cfg and "appropriate".dt files, and finally the windows
  installation of ECS."
 
I also don't understand how you are running ECS to get a lock up.
Please give it to me click-by-click.
