I am having a problems getting Windows 3.0 to work in either Standard mode or 386 enhanced mode. The machine is a PS/2 model 70 with 8 megs of extended, running PC-DOS 4.01. No matter what combination of memory drivers/managers I use, Windows wont go into either Standard or 386 mode. What should I be doing to my CONFIG.SYS file to get things working?

I know others have mentioned about share but what I discovered is that SHARE DOESN'T HAVE TO BE EXPLICITLY INVOKED IN AUTOEXEC.BAT OR CONFIG.SYS TO CAUSE A PROBLEM - THE MERE EXISTENCE OF SHARE.EXE IN THE ROOT DIRECTORY OF THE DISK YOU BOOT FROM UPSETS WINDOWS. This is my config.sys file for a PS/2 Model 70 with 4 Mb total RAM running with Novell 386. The /M:2 on the himem.sys line is important (see the readme.txt which came with Windows). The shell command is to increase the environment space. files = 30 buffers = 2 device=himem.sys /M:2 device=smartdrv.sys 2048 512 shell=command.com /e:1024 /p -- Jifong Chen, Systems Engineer (jifong@tcnz.co.nz) Thomas Cook N.Z.
