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.

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