Thanks to all who replied. It turns out that the MS mouse driver takes about 30K to initialize and I didn't have a 30K chuck of UMB for LOADHIGH to load it in. The mouse driver requires about 17K resident, which I did have in UMB. My temporary solution (until I can get QEMM 6.0 cheap) was to grab an older version of the MS mouse driver (v8.10) which still supported the /e and /u options, which leaves about 8k in conventional mem and throws the rest in high mem. It's a kludge, but it works. My only question is why did they eliminate the /e and /u options from the v8.2 mouse driver? -- |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Mark Marino | omar@osf.org | uunet!osf!omar | | Open Software Foundation | 11 Cambridge Center | Cambridge, MA 02142 | |_____________________________________________________________________________|
