I think that Windows 3.0 is buggy anyway. It won't run on my 386SX system in 
anything other than standard mode. 

I've tried every combination of HIMEM QEMM386 etc. Although win3 has a driver
that is supposed to support my VGA card (the AMI VIP 512) it seems to go into 
some wierd mode in enhanced mode with candy-strips and half characters!
Then any non-windows application will cause the whole thing to need the big red
switch on returning to graphics (ie windows) mode.

In real mode it seems to go along quite well, but then just locks ups completly.
This means that I cann't run windows under Desqview either. (Actually I cann't
run any graphics programs very reliably under desqview.) 

I think there may be problems with the video card, some programs (like Cshow and
bananoid) recognize it incorrectly. However I shopuldn't have thought that 
Windows should bomb on it, since I can set it specifically, I mean, there is a 
driver. Since I also have an AMI bios, unless AMI are incredibly incompetant,
there should be a conflict there either.

If anyone has the slightest idea what may be going on, I'd very much like to
hear from you.

PS - I'm using MS-DOS 3.3 with (and without) 4dos 3.02 (probably irrelevant)
     QEMM 5.11 (patched), Windows 3.0, Desqview 2.24
