will try with time the old kernel trick since .. that could be the cause as you explained? i will try later but i didn't used any boot.ini trick before as i mentioned.. maybe was some .dat replacement to make DS 3.1 work.. but not sure .. will let you know.. will give a try those .ini changes explained here to see if work.... to MArKuso ... what trick worked for you??

and about Icext ..i didn't have it installed and DS 3.2 had same problem.. happends with latest version of icext installed or not .. icext (latest version) runs fine for me.
