Can anybody help me on this one? Windows 3.00a refuses to start up in standard mode with qemm installed; the opening screen comes up but immediately exits to DOS. It will start up in real and enhanced modes. I used the following config.sys and autoexec.bat files: device=c:\qemm\qemm386.sys ram rom files=30 buffers=20 \dos\share path c:\windows;c:\dos;c:\ set TEMP=c:\windows\temp I tried adding x=b000-b7ff, but it didn't help. If I remove qemm and replace it with himem.sys, then all three modes work. My system configuration is: Micronics 386-16 with 6Mb Orchid Prodesigner w/512k (not the Prodesigner II) Sony 1304 Multi-Scan VGA Monitor 80Mb Conner IDE Hard Drive MicroSoft Serial Mouse (com1) Modem (com2) Sound Blaster sound card MS-DOS 4.01 Now for a different problem. Sometimes Windows 3.0 refuses to start up in real mode under Desqview 2.31. It says something like, "Incorrect Dos version. Dos 3.1 or greater required." I'm running MS-DOS 4.01, so the error message doesn't make sense. This problem seems to only occur when two or three Desqview windows are already open. It always starts whenever I open it first, before anything else.

Win 3.00a has a different DOSX.EXE that QEMM can't handle... QEMM <= 5.11 notices this and then dumps you back to DOS. You will notice that the monitor will stay in graphics mode after you get dumped out. I have a debug patch (I got it from Corp. Software) that makes QEMM 5.10 or 5.11 compatible with Win 3.00a. Mail me if you want me to send it. Enough requests and I'll post it. Funny thing that Microsoft or Quarterdeck have not publicized this more... The best idea would be to call Q-deck and ask for the latest QEMM (5.12 or greater). -- ======================================================================== Ross Bannerman | Usenet: banner@mitel.com MITEL Corp.

This is a known bug--blame Microsoft--Quarterdeck does. Get 5.12, or apply the patch to 5.11, which is available in a Quarterdeck White Paper. I'd suggest 5.12; it's safer and more comprehensive.

Is this the same as the patch for "XMS resizing" that is on Simtel20?
(patches a single byte of QEMM 5.10/5.11/5.12)?
If not, then maybe we can swap patches :)
