The PC boots and runs fine, just windows won't start in enhanced mode.  I'm
doing local boots.


I added the NX option to the QEMM line (No eXtended BIOS Data Area or 
somesuch), and it's working perfectly.  My QEMM line is:

device=c:\qemm5.12\qemm386.sys ram x=d000-dfff nx

and it's working like a champ.  Didn't need the ns nor nosh parameters like
I think is suggested in the Memory Solutions book.

For those of you still having problems, this is what was suggested to me by
the QEMM technical support people as a place to start weeding out the
problem.

device=c:\qemm5.12\qemm386.sys ns ram x=1000-9fff fr=e000 x=d000-dfff nrh nt no nv nosh nx x=a000-afff x=b800-c7ff x=f000-ffff

This line worked, but obviosly x'd out a lot that needed to be there...
