I am having a problem with Windows/386 and Netware. For some reason Windows/386 freezes my model 70 at the logo screen and I have to turn it off to reboot. I have the line that is something like winmem... which is supposed tell windows how much memory it can use set to 450. I have 460k of memory left after loading the ipx and net4 drivers. I am running DOS 4.01 and a few other TSR's. I have tried not loading the other tsr's and it still hangs. Does anyone have any experience with this and if so could you either post or email some suggestions. I was able to run Windows/286 over netware adn was able to see and use the network drives with the same setup that I now have with the only difference being it was windows/286. thanks, Alex ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ahaley@hmcvax.claremont.edu | Anyone know of a way to go to school ahaley@jarthur.claremont.edu | without having to do a lot of work or or Alex Haley, Fido 1:205/106 | pay a lot of money? :-) during breaks ONLY --^^^^^ | It would make it a bit more enjoyable! -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I run Windows/386 and Netware on an HP Vectra RS/20. The line to which you refer in my win.ini read: windowmemsize = 640 This value allows Windows to use all the main memory that is left after loading drivers including ipx. Your value of 450 limits Windows to 450K. Windows/386 is very memory sensitive, and too little, I've found, results in all sorts of unexpected behaviour, inluding crashing in the logo.
