[comp.windows.misc] QEMM problem with Windows - Won't execute Dos apps

cgaeth@amsaa-cleo.brl.mil (Christopher Gaeth) (03/11/91)

  System:  386 SX - 16 Clone
           387 Copro
            65 Meg Hard Drive
             2 Meg of Ram

  Problem:  When I orginally installed Win 3.0 the default operating mode
was 386 Enhanced.  This weekend I installed QEMM v 5.1 (device = c:\qemm\
qemm386.sys RAM) and and now it will only go into 386 Enhanced if I force it
with the "Win /3" switch.  Now I can't get Windows to let me execute any of 
the Dos Apps that I used to before I installed QEMM.  It says not enough
memory.  When I check it by clicking the Program manager's "About Help" box 
it says I have 86% resources free and 4953K (I would assume that this
includes virtual memory).  It was suggested in a posting to try the
undocumented "win /x" command to help windows understand the way QEMM set up
the memory.  When I do this I get an Application error - check path.  So 
needless to say I need some help because I haven't got the foggest idea how
to fix my problem.

Thanks in advance for the help.
