[comp.os.msdos.apps] Paradox 386 Memory clash problem

This is a repost we have been having problems with news and
netaccess recently, sorry if it duplicates.
I am having problems with Paradox 386 using the Data Entry Toolkit
when using lookupselect or popup the program crashes out with the
following message:

Abnormal program termination : Memory Protection fault
  CS:EIP=000C:00010DAB

I am running on a IBM PS/2 Model 70 under DOS V4.0 and all I can
get from the UK support desk is that this is caused by a program 
such as a TSR running in virtual mode while paradox 386 is in real 
mode.  However, this problem occurs when I have no TSR's apart 
from IBM's CACHE, FASTOPEN and MOUSE running.
I have even tried running the program having removed the 
autoexec.bat and having a config.sys that only has a files and a 
buffers command.  I have tried using -kswap 40 which doesn't help
either. Does anyone know what is happening .  My paranoid belief 
is that some of my memory chips are fauty or that a virus that 
virusscan does not catch is lose on my system.  I would like to 
keep the contents of my autoexec.bat and config.sys files as they
are, given the other programs I use.
