I have had similar problems with the DTK 386/20 and the same BIOS. In running 386-enh mode, it would give a C> prompt at the top line of the Banner Page and hang up. I found out by reading the *.txt files that windows may have difficulty finding the VGA video ROM memory addresses. I found out that if using the STB VGA Extra boards, (perhaps others too), that the MS EMM Manager (HIMEM.SYS), failed to detect the STB ROM at locations C000-C5FF. In conclusion, if you have problems with this VGA card in your system, install the following command in your windows system.ini file: Find [386Enh] in the file and type below it; EMMEXCLUDE=C000-C5FF This should be edited before entering windows if possible. Start up windows in enhanced mode (win /3) and see if it works. If so, run windows (win) again. It should now work properly. Incidentally, if it runs too slow, don't forget to create a SWAP file. Instructions are in the *.txt files in C:\WINDOWS. ______________________________________________________________________________ "If you can't get ahead, then you're bringing up the rear" ______ ___ ___ /| /| ( // (_ | /| // Mike Wood - NAOC307670 //| //| \__//_// | //| // AT&T Switching Systems _ // | // | _ ____//__ | // | // Oklahoma City Works ( |// |// | / ( // | // | // Human Resources IM&M \// // |/ o \_// o |// |// o att!mwood!mjw attmail!mjw att!mwood!okcusr!mjw MEMBER $USR/OKC, Charter of $USR/Tulsa , D.P.M.A ______________________________________________________________________________ /* End of text from okcusr.UUCP:comp.win.ms */ /* End of text from okcusr.UUCP:comp.win.ms */
