Ok, I have tried PC-CACHE, HyperDisk, and SmartDrive. I place these in the upper memory block area (I am using QEMM 5.12) and they seem to work more or less ok, UNTIL I run something like Windows in 386 Enhanced mode. I can guarantee a system hang just by running Paintbrush (the one that comes w/Windows. Anybody really running (safely) their cache in the UMB Areas???? BTW, I used the XS parameter for HyperDisk and loadhi for the other two (loadhi is the QEMM toy). |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| |Tom Hite | The views expressed by me | |Manager, Product development | are mine, not necessarily | |CADSI (Computer Aided Design Software Inc. | the views of CADSI. | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Hello Tom, I am using QEMM 5.11 with hyperdisk and I am also running windows. There are no problems even when running PC-Tools Compress with hyperdisk installed. Note: in the documentation it says that you should run hyperdkx.sys with QEMM 5.11 and above. I don't know if there are problems with hyper386.sys or hyper286.sys with QEMM. Maybe you should use Manifest and QEMM's analysis procedure to see if there are any memory conflicts that may have come about when running windows. If there are any questions, you can always ask me.(I will try to help but no guarantee :-). Regards, Michael
