Here's the problem. Can anyone offer suggestions?
Windows runs fine in real or standard mode, but hangs on startup
in enhanced mode. In enhanced mode, it displays the banner, then
nothing. I hear disk activity every few seconds (which is normal
under real or standard modes), and if I type Ctl+Alt+Del, it dumps
me back to DOS.
I don't use smartdrv.sys because I have a nonstandard drive.
I have tried:
putting DOS in high and low memory
installing both the DOS 5.0 and Windows 3.0 versions of himem.sys
defining EMMExclude various ways
putting mouse on both COM1 and COM2
MEM reports:
655360 bytes total conventional memory
655360 bytes available to MS-DOS
531952 largest executable program size
3145728 bytes total contiguous extended memory
0 bytes available contiguous extended memory
0 bytes available XMS memory
MS-DOS resident in High Memory Area
Can anyone explain why it reports 0 contiguous extended memory?
Details:
MS-DOS 5.0
ELT 386B, Phoenix 80386 ROM BIOS Plus v 1.10 01
4 MB RAM
Trident TVGA Board, 256KB video RAM
Logitech Serial Mouse
Miniscribe 3085 (71MB drive, 1170 cyls, 7 Heads)
Config.sys:
device=c:\dmdrvr.bin
device=c:\setver.exe
device=c:\himem.sys
device=c:\mouse\mouse.sys
dos=high
buffers=8
files=30
Many thanks...
