   I have read the excellent FAQ by Mike McCormick, Peter 
Herweijers FAQ's are my bible, yet I cannot get my WfWG 32 
bit file access to work ! I have a modern bios that is set to LBA, 
2 hard drives each 850 meg, and an ATAPI CD Rom, as a 
primary device on the secondary port of a non biosed Promise 
chip setted, cheapo I/O card .The h/drives are both IDE, but I 
have a scsi card (Adaptec) in the machine which has its bios 
turned off. I use the scsi card solely to run an HP 2 gig DAT 
drive.The machine itself is a home built DX4/100 with 32 meg 
RAM, that otherwise runs fine.
   When I go into the menu, I have always had 32 bit disk access 
on, and can happily set 32 bit file access to on, in the X 
box.Windows is happy to be rebooted with this parameter on, 
with a 5 meg swap file, with cache set at 1024 Kb/s.I have played 
with smartdive double_buffer remmed out, and in place, in 
config.sys
    The problem is no performance increase is apparent with 32 
bit file access enabled, in fact, unless I set a small cache and a 
relatively small permanent swap file, performance is definately 
worse!When I go back into the Setup | 386 Enhanced menu, the 
disk access boxes always says 16 bit using bios, and this is for all 
drives ( C,D,E,F,G) the CD is H.Does this mean that 32 bit file 
access is <not> set?I am speaking of the box which allows one to 
scroll through the drives here, not the box one X's to set 32bit 
file access on initially.This box remains X'ed ok.
  I am now at a loss, and have checked for the presence of all 
neccessary files a la Mr.McCormicks faq etc. I can see no 
reason for it not to work! Can someone give me a hand here 
please? Mr.Herweijer / Mr. McCormick, anyone, are you there? 
;-)                   Many thanks in anticipation, I really have tried to 
sort this myself, but now it's time for the "boys" !
