[comp.windows.ms] Windows Enhanced Mode > 12 MB

ask@j.cc.purdue.edu (Scott Ksander) (02/18/91)

Quarterdecks BBS reports "Another rumor is that Windows enhanced mode
may not function properly on systems with more than 12 meg of extended
memory."  Does anyone have any details on this?  I have been testing
a 16 meg system and I can not get Windows and QEMM to run correctly
in this configuration.  (12 meg runs fine)  The problem may also be
QEMM.

Hi!

By now I've gotten rid of the Windows' *.TXT -files, but I remember having
seen a note telling, that for systems with RAM >= 16MB, you must use the
HIMEM.SYS that followed the Windows for the extended memory manager, and
no other version or brand.
