I have a Zenith 386 16 MHz and I am having problems with Windows 3.0. When I am using the program in real mode I always get the message: ERROR: MEMORY PARITY FAILURE In the enhanced mode the program works fine, do you have any guess for what is going on? Is the Zenith computer incompatible with Windows 3.0? (in the real mode!) Rodrigo Paiva MIT - Cambridge

There have been several of these postings recently, so I emailed a ZDS engineer who occasionally monitors this traffic to seek his opinion. They haven't had any problems with Win 3.0 beyond getting it to coexist with Novell in the office he works in. But he noted that they were working with Zenith's version of Win 3.0, not the generic MSDOS version. Maybe there's some important distinction between the two. Any knowledgable folks care to comment and/or tell us Z owners how we go about getting the RIGHT stuff? :) "Moby" Dick O'Connor djo7613@u.washington.edu Washington Department of Fisheries *I brake for salmonids* "Moby" Dick O'Connor djo7613@u.washington.edu Washington Department of Fisheries *I brake for salmonids*
