I am having problems getting Windows 3.0 to run in enhanced mode on a new Everex Step 386/33 (33MHz 80386 with 128K cache) with 8M of RAM. Here's the situation.. Windows 3.0 ran in 386Enh mode when the system was first brought up in standalone mode. This was true for the stock version of Windows as well as after I installed the ViewPoint VRAM SuperVGA drivers to get it to run in 800x600x256 mode. After this configuration checked out, I then proceeded to install the IBM Token Ring drivers, the Novell Advanced Netware 286 drivers, and QEMM 386 5.11. I then reconfigured Windows to work on the network. When I try to run Windows in 386Enh mode the screen goes black and I can hear the multisync monitor trying to switch to different display frequencies. The system at this point is locked tight. CTRL-ALT-DEL no longer works. I have to hit the reset switch to get out of it. The system works fine, however, in Real mode or Standard mode. Has anyone figured out a way to get this configuration to work in 386Enh mode. I called the local Everex distributer and they didn't know a fix for this problem either... -- Todd Ogasawara ::: Hawaii Medical Service Association Internet ::: todd@pinhead.pegasus.com Telephone ::: (808) 536-9162 ext. 7
