FS>I have a 486 with 8MB of memory.  I normally run DV and when I want to
FS>run Windows I do it inside of DV, Windows runs in Standard mode.
FS>(BTW it works quite well).  Last night, I tried to run Windows in 386
FS>mode (win /3).  I got told that there was not enough memory.  When running
FS>MFT I have 614K of conventional memory and 5500K of Extended memory.
FS>If I increase the conventional memory to 625K then Windows will run.

One almost expects Windows error messages to mean almost anything but
what they say, and this one is no exception.  How did you increase the
memory, however?  Was it by removing a TSR?  If so, which one?

FS>Is there some known interaction with DR DOS, QEMM,4DOS and Windows?
FS>I am running DR DOS 6.0 with the patch that allows Windows 3.1 to
FS>install, QEMM 6.01, 4DOS 4.01 and Windows 3.1.

FS>In QEMM I exclude the LAN adapter card (D000-D2FF) and have ST:F stealthing
FS>on.  I load high the Satisfaxtion driver, IPX, NETBIOS and REDIR.  The
FS>Mouse driver and CASMGR (for the Satisfaxtion card) low.

It's an odd LAN adapter that has a 12K buffer on it -- more typically
they're 8 or 16K.  Try increasing the size of this EXCLUDE -- D000-D3FF.
Is CASMGR using EMS?  Do things work better if it does not use EMS?  A
complete copy of your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files might be more
helpful here.

Try adding

systemrombreakpoint=false
emmexclude=a000-efff

to the [386 Enh] section SYSTEM.INI file in the Windows directory.  If
this doesn't work, download the files WINFLOW.TEC and WIN31.TEC,
available on the Quarterdeck BBS at (310) 314-3227, Compuserve (!GO
QUARTERDECK), or large local BBS systems, and also via our Q/FAX fax
retrieval service; from the handset of your fax machine, call (310)
314-3214, or in Canada, (416) 665-5070.

FS>Thanks for any help or leads you can give.  I've talked to Microsoft, they
FS>say to run MS-DOS.

Instead of Windows?  There's a first.  <joke!>
