Hi,
I've got a problem running Windows 3.0 in enhanced mode with Share
installed on a new PS/2 model 70. Here's the scoop:
Windows 3.0 is running off of a Novell netware network, version 3.11. The
PC is running IPX and NET4, both versions 3.01 B.
The PC has a 3C523 3Com ethernet card, "standard" VGA, 6MB memory, and a
60 MB hard drive. The 3com card is using IRQ 3, I/O addresses $300-$307,
and buffer addresses $C000-$C5FF. The memory manager is Qemm 5.11. DOS
is 4.01.
The problem: When Share is loaded AND I run Windows AND all of the high
memory is excluded, Windows runs fine. When blocks of the high memory
are included, the PC will run a certain number of applications and lock up.
(It works fine if Share is not loaded however.) The crashes happen with
both Windows and non-Windows apps, but take longerto occur with Windows
apps. The non-Windows apps are being run through PIFswhich point to batch
files. Both win and non-win apps are LAN based with local directories for
local files. The number of apps that must be run before the system crashes
depends upon the amount of high memory included. It seems as if more memory
= fewer apps. This seems to be independent of where the included memory
lies. PLEASE HELP!!! I'M AT THE END OF MY THREAD...er...ROPE!!!
