I have an IBM PS/2 Model 50Z (a 10Mhz 80286 machine with 1MB memory). Currently, I have MKS Toolkit Version 3.1 installed with Configuration 4. In this configuration, "command.com" is replaced by MKS Toolkit "init" program, and I can login as an account with different shell (command.com or sh.exe). I am quite happy with this setup. However, after I upgraded my Windows/286 to Windows 3.0, I have following problems: 1. Window 3.0 can not be launched from "sh.exe", while Windows/286 has no problem with that. Well, this is quite all right, I can create an account with "command.com" as its default shell for running Windows 3.0. But, this causes the second problem. 2. In standard mode, I have problem in running most of the non-Windows applications, including Quick C 2.0, Word 5.0 etc. I can launch these applications from Windows, but when I want to return to Windows, the system crashes. The same thing happens when I want to start a DOS shell from Windows. I can solve the above problem with either of the two methods below: 1) Remove "init" and set MKS Toolkit in other configurations. 2) Run Windows in real mode. However, I do not like these two settings and wonder if there is any other solution. Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

I had similar problems running on a 386. I created a pif file which
starts init.exe and added win.com to my autoexec file. I run WORD 5.0
as a fullscreen application.
