Could someone please help with the following problem.  I think it may have
been discussed in one of these newsgroups before, but I forgot the solution.

I just upgraded my motherboard for an Intel/Phoenix based 386DX/25 to a
AMD/AMI/OPTI based 386DX/40/64kcache.  Both have 8 megs of memory.

I installed DOS 5.0 on the hard drive and Windows 3.1.  After fine tuning
everything (I had deleted the drive to re-set it to user defined for 5 more megs
of space ofer the default drive type), thus had to re-install from floppy.
I can no longer get smartdrive to work.

I'm using the latest version (between DOS 5 and Windows 31) of HIMEM.SYS,
EMM386.EXE, and SMARTDRV.EXE (from windows, not dos distribution), version 4.0

If I have it load in the autoexec (after MSMOUSE), into himem (no parameters)
the system locks.  If I let it boot, and then type it from command line,
it loads, but as soon as I start windows, during the logo the system either
reboots or locks.  If I load smart drive into low (/l) it seems to work
better.

Whats up?  The only thing different that before is that I no longer have the
drive stacked (yet).  I figure if it worked with stacker, it most definetely
should work w/o!!!

Please post a followup or email if you know the answer.

Thanks much.
