Well, I finally have a reasonably stable Windows system (only took about 3
months...). I called MS tech support and had an apparently unusual
experience: Good! The tech person was very helpful and knowledgable, and
spent at least 30 minutes with me. We solved most of my problems in that
time. (Hold time was about 5 minutes)
The system:
VIP 386DX/20 Motherboard (C&T ChipSet)
4MB RAM
Microsoft Inport Mouse
DFI HS3000+ Scanner
1.2M (A:), 360K(B:)
COM1, COM2, COM3, LPT1
CMS Tape backup w/adapter board
Trident VGA 512K (C000)
WD8003 Ethernet (RAM D000)
Seagate ST-02 SCSI (C800) w/ST296N
3 normal (<32MB) partitions
IBM PC-DOS 3.30
The one remaining hitch is that WordPerfect 5.1 blows up ("Violated System
Integrity...") when I attempt to print graphics. All other WP functions
(that I've tried) have worked, including View Document. Has anyone else
had -- and solved -- this problem?
I do _not_ want to upgrade to WP for Windows! (When released ;-) I use
Windows for its multitasking capabilities. I don't like the GUI, I just put
up with it.
Incidentally, the big fix for my system was an emmexclude line telling WIN30
where all my ROM extensions (and the network RAM (probably the culprit))
were.
