I've got an odd problem. It has to do with HYPERDISK and Windows 3.0.
I am using both Qemm 5.11 and HyperDisk 4.20 (using extended memory).
All works just fine until I decide to use Windows. Ok, I'll get the
Microsoft's ad, then just as the graphics should appear all I see is a
flicker, and the screen stays blank. The Windows has started, though.
I can exit Windows by using Alt+F4, but I'd really like to see what I
do with the Windows. The funniest part of this problem is that if I start
Windows in Standard mode (win/s), I invariably get to see the graphics...
And in the Real mode the whole Windows seems to crash...
Also, when I don't use the HyperDisk, the problem seems to disappear,
which leads one to think that the problem and HyperDisk are somehow
linked.
So, to sum it up, in 386-mode I got Windows, no screen, in Standard
I get Windows with screen, but no 386 gimmicks, and in Real-mode I
get nothing at all.
My hardware is as follows:
16MHz 386SX, 4 M memory, Trident SVGA (512 k), 65 M RLL harddisk
I'd appreciate all the tips that might aid me in solving this dilemma.
