I get an error when running Ventura Publisher Professional
Extension. Ventura Professional still works, but I feel I am
not getting the fullest possible out of my machine. Any ideas
on how to deal with this problem would be appreciated.
When I run the batch file, VPPROF.BAT, it gives me an error
of 'Error - Expanded Memory not Found'. I placed pause
commands at various places in the batch file and was able to
trace the error to the line 'DLOAD ENGLISH'.
I am running the program from DOS (not from Windows) on a
20mhz 386 with 4 meg of memory on the motherboard. I have
HIMEM.SYS installed (the driver is from Windows 3) which
Ventura is supposed to be able to use to gain access to another
64k of standard memory. My VPPROF.BAT file has not been
modified- it is the same as when created by Ventura.
Listed below is some info that may be of help in trying to
trouble shoot this problem. At the Publisher's Info Screen in
both VP and VP Prof., it gives me this info concerning EMS:
Standard, EMS - (SYS=0kb, APP=0kb)
At the Ventura Diagnostic screen, I'm given the following
info (shown for both Professional Extension and VP2.0):
VP Diagnostics VP Prof. Ext. VP

Any ideas would be appreciated.
