Hello Windows and AutoCad experts I got a problem with running Windows 3.0 and AutoCad386 10.0 My problem is after i have run a Windows session all the extended memory seams to go on holliday because when i run Acad and type status on the command line i got the ansver that no expanded memory in aviable so Acad will swap to disk and become slower than if i run Acad on 8088 machine. I got a feeling that it is my version of himem.sys cause this problem or is i all wrong? I have test the programs on two different machines with the same result. Machine one configuration IBM PS/2 mod 55-x31 with 4 Mb ram version of himem.sys ver 2.60 date 04/05/90 PC-DOS ver 3.30 Machine two Crown 486/33 (Hawk motherboard) with 8 Mb ram himem.sys ver 2.60 date 04/05/90 MS-DOS ver 4.01 AutoCad386 configuration -hwivec 50h -minswfsize 400000 -swapdefdisk -swapchk off -intmap 08h -vscan 20000 One way to solve it is to run emm386.sys in config.sys and make some of the memory expanded instead. For me isn't that a god solution because on the IBM i want to use all the memory both in windows and AutoCad. My solution this far is to reboot the machine after i have run my Windows session. Is there someone who have hade the same problem and if so did you solve in a better way than i so would i be greatfull if you could share your results with me.
