[comp.sys.ibm.pc] WP50 under DESQview?

news@udenva.cair.du.edu (netnews) (07/17/90)

i can't make WP50 work under DV 2.26
it says i'm out of memory, but i get this even when i have no other windows
 open, any ideas? i tried to tell DV that WP50 needs 280k, and that it writes
directly to the screen , and now i'm getting a register dump, with some
bogus error, with the terminate, reboot, or continue BS.

any help appreciated, preferably e mail.

thnx

tim

Sorry, Tim, our mailer is down at the moment.

Get out of DESQview.  Change your directory to your WP directory, and use
LOADHI to start the program:

	C:\WP>LOADHI /GS WP50

Make sure that the directory LOADHI is in is in your path.  When you exit
WP50, it will tell you how much memory was required to run.  Then edit your
program information screen in DESQview to start WP50 with that much memory.

One other thing you can try in desparation is change the protection when you
run WP50 from 0 to 3, and you might get a better error message.
