We have a person who got in an Everex Step 386/33 with an Everex VRAM VGA
card with 1M of video RAM and an Everex multisync CRT. He also has QEMM-386
5.12 (the latest version I know of).  This setup seems to work fine with 
most software. However, there is a big problem when Microsoft Word 5.5
is used with this setup. Upon exiting Word, the VGA screen puts up garbage,
the system locks, and one can hear the multisync monitor trying to switch
to various frequencies.

I've spoken with two tech support people at Everex. They suggested excluding
A000-C7FF. Unfortunately, that didn't help. I tried a number of other
switches which also didn't help. I used the various QEMM analysis options
to look at what was allocated in memory by QEMM and the video card and
didn't see any obvious collisions or other problems.

I've tried to call Quarterdeck several times for assistance but their phone
lines are always busy.

I'd appreciate any hints anyone out there might have...todd
