4Mb Memory, 386 built clone, 5Mb Permanent Swap file, AMI BIOS PRO II 1Mb memory QEMM 5.11 Win 3.0 I have the above mentioned, here are my files..... CONFIG.SYS: DEVICE=E:\QEMM\QEMM386.SYS MAPS=20 RAM DMA=64 shell=command.com /E:1024 /P stacks=0,0 files=40 buffers=1 country=044 device=e:\qemm\loadhi.sys /r:1 C:\smartdrv.sys 1024 256 device=e:\qemm\loadhi.sys /r:2 C:\windows\ramdrive.sys 720 /e device=E:\QEMM\LOADHI.SYS /R:2 C:\PROII\SPEED_up.SYS device=E:\QEMM\LOADHI.SYS /R:3 C:\PROII\XANSI.SYS lastdrive=f AUTOEXEC.BAT (relevant part) @ECHO OFF e:\qemm\loadhi /r:1 e:\qemm\buffers=20 e:\qemm\loadhi /r:2 c:\msdos\keyb uk e:\qemm\loadhi /r:2 c:\windows\mouse.com /Y e:\qemm\loadhi /r:2 d:\bin\history Now, when I don't use qemm I can open 4 dos windows (like treacle I know, but it can be done). WITH qemm, opening the second dumps me back to dos. (So does paint). Any ideas why?? BTW, I've tried the following alternative CONFIG.SYS: DEVICE=E:\QEMM\QEMM386.SYS MAPS=20 RAM DMA=64 shell=command.com /E:4096 /P stacks=0,0 files=40 buffers=1 country=044 device=e:\qemm\loadhi.sys /r:1 C:\smartdrv.sys 256 256 /a device=e:\qemm\loadhi.sys /r:2 C:\windows\ramdrive.sys 720 /a device=E:\QEMM\LOADHI.SYS /R:2 C:\PROII\SPEED_up.SYS device=E:\QEMM\LOADHI.SYS /R:3 C:\PROII\XANSI.SYS lastdrive=f and various other combos of loading smartdrv and ramdrive in ext/exp mem AND not loading anything high. Has anyone the (I know it can't be - every machine is different) ideal config for qemm/windows thanks muchly in advance, Derek Jones System Manager AI Vision Research Unit University of Sheffield Western Bank Sheffield S10 2TN UK email derek@aivru.sheffield.ac.uk PS I want to work in enhanced mode...... -- Automatic Disclaimer: The views expressed above are those of the author alone and may not represent the views of the IBM PC User Group. --

Derek,
First of all, you don't need DMA and MAP parameters. You may need to
use No Video Fill and NS. You will also likely need to use MEMORY and
Exclude for however your system is configured. Use Extended memory only
for SMARTDrive and RAMDrive.
Next, remove all your loadhi requests until you get windows working right.
I have a HP Vectra ES/12 that I have converted to a 386 machine. It took
some time and experamenting, but I got QEMM and Windows to work together.
You may have to set some of your system.ini [386 enhance] parameters as
well. Read the System.ini readme file.
There are some things, like drives on HPIB, that still gives me problems.
Don't count on QuarterDeck for help. They are majorly useless!!! Use
Manefest and your system information to adjust your parametes to match.
Good luck!

I've found that having
stacks=0,0
in CONFIG.SYS when using QEMM386.SYS can cause all sorts of problems in 386
Enhanced mode. When I removed it from mine, all sorts of flakey things
STOPPED happening.
