[comp.windows.ms] XMS Problem

wigan@civeng.monash.edu.au (David Neiger) (11/21/90)

I am having trouble with XMS memory management.

I have a 286 box with 4Mb RAM (3 Mb XMS 640 Kb Conventional the rest shadow RAM)
and I cannot get Win3.0 to allow a program to access more than 400Kb XMS.  I am
trying to run GoScript 3.0 (excellent program, well worth getting but I don't
sell it) from within Windows via a PIF file but when I use a Hi-Res printer
driver which requires > 400kB of XMS, the memory is allocated and GoScript
can write to it, but when GoScript attempts to read it I get either
"Memory Management Error" or a system lock up

Please Help me
