[comp.databases] help with i486 & Dbase III+

Forgive me if I'm posting on a topic that has already been discussed;
I looked throught the recent postings and didn't see any similar threads.

And now my problem.....

I have just received my new 33mzh i486 machine with great expectations
of being able to do many wonderful things with it. Unfortunately (? sp)
I can't seem to get Dbase III+ to run on it. When I attempt to run dbase
my screen goes blank, the 'Num' sign comes on where it normally does, the 
cursor drops to the next line and then..... Nothing happens (ever). No
other keystrokes have any effect, even the warm boot sequence fails.  
I see this result regardless of whether the machine is running network 
drivers, windows 3.0, ect.

Any ideas?

My configuration is as follows:

	i486 (33mhz) AT&T Starserver S
		4 Mb memory
		Qemm 5.1 memory manager
	600 MB SCSI drive with a 300 meg DOS 401 partition
	Everex Viewpoint TC high resolution video card
	NEC 4d MultiSynch monitor
