Please could anybody help me with the following,
I am trying to install Pagemaker 3.0 on windows 2.03. The machine used
is a toshiba 3200 and the mouse is a genius mouse. The machine has 640
Kb and 384 expanded memory.
After installing PM, I cannot get it to work. When i try to load it
from the command line, it says something like, error, exit code 0001.
When I try to load it from windows (which works ok!), it tells me PM
is too large???
It should work in 640Kb and if not, I have got the expanded memory...
I checked but cannot find anything in the PM manual...
Please help me out if you can...
Thanks
Dries Bessels,
Amsterdam, Holland

You are running on a valid configuration, and it should work.

I have had the same problem with other applications running under 
windows.  Be careful of other applications that have been run prior
to running windows.   Some applications do things to memory and then
leave junk as you exit that effect future program memory useage.
(QDOS for example).  FOR SURE, avoid loading TSRs before trying to
run windows.  Windows has its own memory manager so don't load a 
memory manager before loading windows, they will fight with each other.
(QEMM for example).

Exapanded memory means nothing to you unless you have software that is
configured to use it.  Did you set windows up for the extra memory?
What does windows tell you when you do the 'about'.

You can reach Aldus by computer on Compu$erve.   Do a go aldus at the !
prompt.
