This is a questionthat has been bothering me for some time but I have seen no discussion of it here or in the FAQ. How is it that in seamless sessions I can have conflicting settings? To be more specific If I have 3 Apps each with separately twiddled settings for HARDWARE_ROM_TO_RAM DPMI_MEMORY_LIMIT etc all running in the same session how is this all sorted out when the all have to run in a single VDM? Do they all run in a single VDM? I can imagine separate memory limits on a per app basis but something like VIDEO_MODE_RESTRICTION surely can't be incompatible when all the apps in that session share a windows driver. The situation is further confused by the generic WINOS2 notebook in the command prompts folder. What takes priority when these settings conflict with those of an app? One last question. Does this have anything to do with the fact that I cannot figure out how to start up a windows app to run in an _existing_ full screen session? Right now it seems to me that the only way to have more than one app running in a full screen session in to fire up progman full screen and take it from there in windows mode. This seems to waste precious RAM resources to have progman doing a poor job of something WPS should do. I would really like to see some discussion on this or better yet get a pointer to some solid information. Any thoughts? Tom
