[comp.windows.ms] hp problem with Win 3.0

Can anyone help me get Windows 3.0 to run in 386 Enhanced mode
on my Vectra QS 16 computer?  I have tried upgrding to QS 20
BIOS, all the standard workarounds such as excluding memory 
from EMM286.SYS and turning off the virtualhdrq.  Nothing
works.  I still get the the 3.0 signon screen and then the DOS
prompt about 1/4th of the way through the loading process.

After the return to DOS my video is messed up and I have to
reboot the machine.  However, DOS seems ok otherwise.

I use a QS16 with no problems.  I did a completely standard installation,
with no special tricks in config.sys.
