In comp.windows.ms there was a discussion about that subject, to which I would like to add some more interesting facts which I found out when I was recently fighting with another problem with QEMM, Windows and Novell. (I will report the result of that problem in a separate posting.) Someone sent me some Technical Notes from Quarterdeck, which had been on some CompuServe Forum, and one of them had to do with QEMM and Windows standard mode. The essential fact which I found there was that in order to get Windows running in standard mode the QEMM driver patches Windows kernel code in memory !!!!!!! The technical note itself was about patching QEMM again to get that other patch correct for a later version of Windows. Obviously the point is that QEMM checks the code it finds in memory and when it doesn't look right, it won't do the dynamic patch and .. voila, no standard mode possible in Windows. And the next more important and unpleasant conclusion for me is that this procedure most certainly can't work at all with any national language versions of Windows, so all these version can never get standard mode with QEMM. I think the original problem report was from someone in Germany, too, and all the answers saying it was working for them were from America. Now I finally know why I, too, had the problem on several configurations, but no idea what to do. Provocative question: does Quarterdeck know that there are other languages in the word besides English ???????
