Two problems :
1) Can't exit out of DOS Prompt after starting it in Window
Standard mode. Actually the Window comes back in a very weird
state: the screen is black except for the title and menu bars,
and the system hangs, i.e. no control from keyboard or mouse,
and has to be rebooted.
2) Can't start Window in enhance mode, the Window logo comes up
and goes away with system complains "ERROR: Cannot install the
386 enhanced mode Expanded Memory driver".
System description:
Everex 386/20
Panasonic VGA monitor with Paradise VGA card (I modified the
SYSTEM.INI file according to README.TXT)
4MB of memory (conventional and extended)
2MB of memory from Intel Above Board (configured as expanded
only)
content of my config.sys file
DEVICE = C:\DOS\EMM.SYS AT 208 ND
BREAK=ON
BUFFERS=10
FILES=20
LASTDRIVE=E
SHELL=C:\DOS\COMMAND.COM C:\DOS /P /E:512
DEVICE=C:\C600\BIN\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\C600\BIN\SMARTDRV.SYS 1024 256
DEVICE=C:\DOS\ANSI.SYS
INSTALL=C:\DOS\FASTOPEN.EXE C:=(50,25)
DEVICE = C:\UTIL\OX.SYS
DEVICE = C:\C600\BIN\RAMDRIVE.SYS 2048 /e
Concerns :
1) when I execute the mem command the system returns the following:
655360 bytes total memory
655360 bytes available
468496 largest executable program size
2097152 bytes total EMS memory
2097152 bytes free EMS memory
3538944 bytes total extended memory
0 bytes available extended memory
Inside Windows Standard mode, About reports 1276K free memory and
85% free system resources. How come the system can't see or use
all the memories?
I would appreciate if you can emails the answer back to me if
possible.
Thanks.
