I am trying to install a 24X on my 386/33 machine.
Machine Specs:
386/33 with 8MB
Adaptec 1542B SCSI Adapter
AMI BIOS with 0 wait state
Shadow RAM enabled.

Speedstar set to factory default:
IRQ2 enabled, 0 wait state ... etc.

config.sys : himem.sys and emm386 (with 'noems' option) 

The Problem:
I am attempting to run windows in 800x600 with 32K colors.
But it crashes ... error --> "Cannot load GDI.EXE"

It is able to run fine in 800x600 16 color mode.

If I try to run Windows (800x600 32K colors) in 'standard' mode,
it comes up with the program manager ... but it displays errors
when trying to display the Groups. 
error: "The Group xxxx.grp is corrupted ... do you wish to 
        recreate it ?"
I know the file is not corrupted. So what gives?

There appears to be an address conflict.

Help !!

An e-mail would ne appreciated.
