Howdy folks. Seems here I gots me a little bitsy problem using that wonderful thing known as Turbo Debugger. Now, I got a 386-33 w/ 8MB of memory and want to use TD386 in Virtual 8086 mode so I don't trash my code everytime I have wild pointer. Unfortunately, I also use QEMM. Now, as far as I know, about 65% of the people who have a 386 w > 1MB of RAM installed use QEMM or 386MAX. The Borland docs say that I can use QEMM and TD286 no problem. Here is the problem though. If I try to run TD386, it erros out and says that I need to remove QEMM since it isn't VCPI compliant. Fine....although as far as I know Quarterdeck was the company that INVENTED the VCPI protocol. Problem #2: I can't remove QEMM since I need it to loadhi all my device drivers. Otherwise I have 475K free. Not good. Okay, I can live with not using TD386....so I try using TD286...sorry, TD286 whines about my QEMM not being VCPI compliant. Okay, so I run TD286INS to install it. Freezes the system. Now, TD works just fine....but I didn't WANT TD!!! I WANTED TD386! So everything I paid for now doesn't work since all my wonderful utilities can't seem to intermingle peacefully. My configuration is as thus: 386-33 w/ C&T/Micronics Chipset 8MB RAM device=qemm.sys NOSH NOEMS ROM RAM These are the LATEST versions of both programs....any ideas? Brian
