[ncr.sys.pcdos] Ventura Publisher Problems

mregeste@ncrwic.Wichita.NCR.COM (Mark Regester) (01/09/90)

I am having some problems with Ventrua Publisher 2.0 and was wondering 
if anyone has come across this situation.

The software is installed on an NCR PC 8 (AT compatible), 640K, 30MB
hard disk running DOS 3.3.  Also installed is a Microsoft Mouse, AST 
Rampage Plus 286 with 512K installed and a 3COM 3C501 ethernet adapter.
The network software installed is PC File Server.  The monitor and
graphics card is a MDS Genius VHR Display, model VHR 400T MON.

The problem is that with the expanded memory manager installed, himem.sys
installed, and network software loaded Ventura "hangs".  If the expanded
memory manager is not installed, Ventura loads, but it reports "internal 
error 0019" several times and then reports "not enough memory".  If 
himem.sys and EMM are loaded with no network software, then Ventura loads
and runs with no problems.

On this PC, Ventura would not load with the network software installed.  
It would report the "internal error and not enough memory" messages 
described above.  The AST board was added to provide additional memory
through himem.sys and expanded memory which Ventura support.

The AST board, it's EMM, and network software have been installed in 
other PC's and they appear to coexist but, they don't use Ventura or the 
Genius monitor.

I have looked at the memory addresses used by each of the boards and I
did not see any overlap.

Any suggestions?  Thanks in advance.
