Here is the problem.. someone goofed in the Desqview Setup. Go
back into the Desqview Setup program and find the "Common Memory"
entry.. change it to something MUCH smaller, like 20K or so. The
name is somewhat misleading, "common memory" is used by Desqview
Programs for odds and ends (I dunno what), and each window needs a
couple of K of it, so 20K is plenty. Doing this will free up piles
of XMS/EMS for more general purpose use. Pretty silly, actually, I
think QEMM oughta pool the "Common memory" on demand from the same
pot of XMS/EMS, but it doesn't.
Thank you! Good thing I read c.s.i.p.m for a day, 'cause all I'd
gotten in the mail was "Only 2 megs? Ugh!" from about 5 different
people....
