[comp.windows.ms] Problem with Windows on a 286 - Groups go bad

esl1_ltd@uhura.cc.rochester.edu (Eric Lambert) (03/05/91)

I've been having nothing but trouble with Windows 3.0 ever since I
installed it on my Packard Bell 286-12.  I just reinstalled it, but I
seem to have a recurring problem that's particularly nasty.  Whenever I
run Windows in either Standard or Real mode, invariably one or two or
sometimes more of the program groups are declared "damaged or invalid".
Sometimes only one group gets this message, sometimes *all* of them.
It's really annoying, does anyone have an idea as to what might be the
problem?  I have 2meg ram, with HIMEM installed but EMS is not.  

Please help!
