[connect.audit] qemm 5.11/windows 3.0 : bombs out. WHY?

derek@ibmpcug.co.uk (Derek Jones) (05/03/91)

4Mb Memory, 386 built clone, 5Mb Permanent Swap file, AMI BIOS
PRO II 1Mb memory

QEMM 5.11 Win 3.0

I have the above mentioned, here are my files.....

CONFIG.SYS:

DEVICE=E:\QEMM\QEMM386.SYS MAPS=20 RAM DMA=64
shell=command.com /E:1024 /P
stacks=0,0
files=40
buffers=1
country=044
device=e:\qemm\loadhi.sys /r:1 C:\smartdrv.sys 1024 256
device=e:\qemm\loadhi.sys /r:2 C:\windows\ramdrive.sys 720 /e
device=E:\QEMM\LOADHI.SYS /R:2 C:\PROII\SPEED_up.SYS
device=E:\QEMM\LOADHI.SYS /R:3 C:\PROII\XANSI.SYS
lastdrive=f

AUTOEXEC.BAT (relevant part)
@ECHO OFF
e:\qemm\loadhi /r:1 e:\qemm\buffers=20
e:\qemm\loadhi /r:2 c:\msdos\keyb uk
e:\qemm\loadhi /r:2 c:\windows\mouse.com /Y
e:\qemm\loadhi /r:2 d:\bin\history

Now, when I don't use qemm I can open 4 dos windows (like treacle I know, but
it can be done).

WITH qemm, opening the second dumps me back to dos. (So does paint).

Any ideas why??

BTW, I've tried the following alternative CONFIG.SYS:

DEVICE=E:\QEMM\QEMM386.SYS MAPS=20 RAM DMA=64
shell=command.com /E:4096 /P
stacks=0,0
files=40
buffers=1
country=044
device=e:\qemm\loadhi.sys /r:1 C:\smartdrv.sys 256 256 /a
device=e:\qemm\loadhi.sys /r:2 C:\windows\ramdrive.sys 720 /a
device=E:\QEMM\LOADHI.SYS /R:2 C:\PROII\SPEED_up.SYS
device=E:\QEMM\LOADHI.SYS /R:3 C:\PROII\XANSI.SYS
lastdrive=f

and various other combos of loading smartdrv and ramdrive in ext/exp mem AND
not loading anything high.



Has anyone the (I know it can't be - every machine is different) ideal config
for qemm/windows

thanks muchly in advance,

Should have mentioned: DOS 3.3 WIndows 3.0 (NOT 3.0a).
