Sorry if this is a repeat but I just started following this group...
I have a 2 year old version of Desqview, which worked fine up until the last
month, when I bought a new EMS board from HP. I have it all installed, and
it works fine with all other programs that use it, but Desqview acts as if it's not there. I'll run memory status, and I get something like:
Expanded memory 2048Kb (total) 0Kb (available) 0Kb(largest avail.)
I'm positive that nothing's loaded into the memory, but I suppose it would be
more accurate to say that Desq thinks the memory's all filled up.
The memory starts at C000, if that means anything to anybody...
Thanks in advance for any help...

There are two necessary conditions for DV to be able to use your EMS board for multitasking. First, it must be an EEMS or *hardware* LIM4 board (sorry, EMS 3.2 hardware with EMS 4.0 drivers won't do--unfortunately most "EMS4" boards are really EMS 3.2). Second, you must disable as much motherboard memory as possible and tell the EMS board to backfill conventional memory. -- {backbone}!cs.cmu.edu!ralf ARPA: RALF@CS.CMU.EDU FIDO: Ralf Brown 1:129/3.1 BITnet: RALF%CS.CMU.EDU@CARNEGIE AT&Tnet: (412)268-3053 (school) FAX: ask DISCLAIMER?
