The small problem I have got with the EMM386.EXE is that it always hang my machine whenever CTRL-ALT plus any random key has been pressed. ie no warm-boot for CTRL-ALT-DEL, and no CMOS set-up menu for CTRL-ALT-s, nor enabling/disabling hard-cache. The whole machine is just dead, all with the exception of within WIN3.1. Is that suppose to happen? Hardware problem? or virus? (shouldn't be - I checked it) or whatever. Anyone else experienced this? Also in WIN3.1, unstable system occurs very frequently. I have also no idea what's going on. Manual did not have anything on it. But that is another problem to be dealt with later... I appreciate any help given. In my config.sys, I have got the typical settings... device=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS devicehigh=c:\windows\emm386.exe noems shell=c:\command.com c:\ /e:700 /p dos=high,umb files=50 buffers=30 lastdrive=f stack=9,256 devicehigh=C:\utils\MODE\FASTBIOS.SYS devicehigh=C:\utils\MODE\EANSI.SYS devicehigh=c:\utils\mouse\mouse.sys SER 2 NOTE: The present of noems parameter doesn't change anything. EMM386 could not be conflicting with any other softwares I have. System: 486/33, 8MB RAM, 2HD/2FD, Sound Blaster Pro, Tseng SVGA. Thanks. - Benjamin Wai < wai@cn.ecn.purdue.edu > < wai@sage.cc.purdue.edu > ---
