I'm trying to use TD under the newest version of Desqview on a 386 (running qemm also). Although the td386 program is not supposed to work, and generates an error message when I try it, the normal td or td286 should run under desqview (and the manual agrees). When I run either though, after loading a program to be debugged it hangs my PC until I press the reset button. Does anyone have this combination working?! Thanks. -- --Peter ------------------------------------------ -------------------------------- Peter Baer Galvin (401) 863-7623 Systems Manager, Brown Univ. Comp.

This problem occurs if you leave the td386.sys driver in your
config.sys. I believe that the reason for this is that even the
regular debugger (td) tries to use special functions of a 386 if the
driver is installed, but never checks if it can, so fails, badly.

I have the TD problem even without the td386 device driver installed. I called Borland tech support and they informed me that TD does a lot of "low level hardware things" that conflict with QEMM, and that while some people have managed to get some flavor of TD2.0 to work under QEMM and DV, it is not supported and Borland has no plans to support it. If you feel this is stupid (as I do) you might call Borland Tech support and voice your opinion. -- --Peter ------------------------------------------ -------------------------------- Peter Baer Galvin (401) 863-7623 Systems Manager, Brown Univ.
