Nothing will move, not even the mouse, and the caps key won't work. The only cure is to turn the computer off and start again.
There's a lot to like about Dingo though, the applications at last have a consistent look due to the GTK2 toolkit and it's possible to use the latest versions of apps such as Firefox 3.0.4. | Do you use a swap file or swap partition?
If not create one.

Thanks, I will though I'm a bit surprised that I should need one when according to Conky I've still got 100MB of free RAM on my machine.

That could be caused by faulty ram.

But you're free to do what you want.
Maybe look also at th tip of possible faulty ram.

Beem and disciple, thanks for the replies.
I have only 256 MB of RAM, my computer's a Compaq Pentium III Coppermine with 20GB of hard drive space. In short, it's getting on a bit now.
I've tried using memtest but I can't decipher the output. Are there any other utilities which would enable me to examine the condition of my ramsticks?

I don't know for sure (I don't use Open Office in Puppy) but John Biles has managed to make it work in TeenPup, which is based on the 2 series, so it should be possible.
