[comp.os.msdos.desqview] Is QEXT.SYS incompatible with VDISK.SYS and/or FASTDISK.SYS?

kds@physics.phy.duke.edu (Stokes Kevin) (06/11/91)

    I find that if I install QEXT.sys as per the instructions in desqview,
then my ram disk no longer works.  I assume that VDISK and QEXT are both
trying to use the same extended memory.  Is there a way to avoid this problem?
For instance, does any one know of a ram disk driver that doesn't conflict
with QEXT?

The order is critical.  I think QEXT has to come first.  But it does
work.  Trust me.
