Hello windows lovers. I have a ps/2 55 model with 386sx microprocesor and I have just installed windows 3. The problem is that I have several Windows2 utilities that I'd like to keep and for that reason I installed QEMM386 in order to once in a while use windows in real mode. BUT it can't hold. It constantly crashes or causes memory errors. Is it just me or maybe the EMS emulator is corrupted. It could be since note pad is corrupted since arrival (I'm quit sure). If it is a problem of compatibility what other EM manager can I use that will work fine with windows. How about Xmaem and Xma2emm (sorry if I mispelled the driver name) of DOS 4. Could they work? I've seen a program called EMM,maybe that one could do the job. Any ways please reply privetly to : Raul Ramirez Velarde Computer Science Dep. ITESM Bitnet : pa251678@TECMTYVM Internet : pa251678@Ttecmtyvm.mty.itesm.mx Thanks and good luck.

Some time ago I had to use expanded memory outside of Windows, so I installed it. It worked without problems. It was even possible to run Windows in 386-mode while it was installed. I deinstalled it afterwards, because Windows memory management is more flexible if it manages *all* memory. Have you tried to run your old Windows 2 utilities under Windows 2 under Windows 3? I do that all the time. I only resort to pure Windows 2 if I have to use the debugging version of Windows with a serial terminal. Some Windows 2 applications which fiddle with the hardware (scanner software, for example) may not work this way. >Raul Ramirez Velarde >Computer Science Dep. >ITESM >Bitnet : pa251678@TECMTYVM >Internet : pa251678@Ttecmtyvm.mty.itesm.mx Wolfgang Strobl #include <std.disclaimer.hpp>
