I've run into problems installing QEMM 5.11 and Win 3.00a together. My installation will crash ("Exception 13" error) if I try to run _any_ windows application in real mode. Furthermore I am not even able to boot Win3 in Standard or Enhanced mode. Reinstalling a copy of Windows 3.0 solves all my problems... Is there some incompatibility between 5.11 and 3.00a ?? What does 3.00a give me? My system: 386sx-20 2M RAM C & T motherboard, AMI BIOS Trident 8800 512K VGA card QEMM v5.11 I know I can't install 3.0 without temporarily removing QEMM (the installation hangs up just before it installs fonts...) Is this also a known bug? Am I just missing a QEMM command line switch or something? I tried umpteen combinations with no success... Any pointers would be appreciated... I'm going to call QDeck support, but the last time I did that it took me 4 tries (always busy) and a further 4 tries before I talked to a human voice (put on hold)... I hoping to be pleasantly surprised this time. -- ======================================================================== Ross Bannerman | Usenet: banner@mitel.com MITEL Corp.

Quarterdeck had to rename the driver once already to "get around" this blatent compliment. -- ___Mark S.
