For a couple of days now I have been having problems running NB under Windows,
with MX=10 enabled. At least five times in three days, the whole system is
shut down with a full screen message that says: "Memory parity error detected.
System halted." And then there is no choice except to switch the computer off.
Even a warm boot is not possible. I have only just disabled MX=10; so I can't
say with complete confidence that that's the problem, but in the meanwhile,
can I ask whether anybody else has had this problem, in this or any other
context. Incidentally, I don't even know which system is issuing this message:
Windows, EMM, DOS? But since it has happened as I was typing in text, I
surmise that it traces to NB's attempts to reach into extended memory.

                                       Best,
                                       Mohan
