I just installed QEMM-386 5.12 and Desqview 2.32 on my 386 clone,
and I'm having two weird problems:
1) When I run Manifest under Desqview, if I select either of the "Timings"
functions, the table never comes up, it just keeps timing and timing,
or else locks the machine up. I found no way to exit this.
If I run Manifest outside of Desqview, it works fine.
2) I'm using MSDOS 3.30, and my CONFIG.SYS file looks like this:
files=30
stacks=0,0
buffers=1
device=c:\dos\ramdrive.sys 1000 512 /e
DEVICE=C:\DV\QEMM\QEMM386.SYS ON NOVIDEOFILL RAM ADAPTERROM=C000-C7FF
device=c:\dv\qemm\loadhi.sys /r:2 c:\mouse\mouse.sys
device=c:\dv\qemm\loadhi.sys /r:2 c:\dos\ansi.sys
device=c:\dv\qemm\loadhi.sys /r:2 e:\windows\smartdrv.sys 512 512
First of all, are there any obvious problems here?
I notice that if I include the RAMDRIVE.SYS, then when I run Manifest
to check memory timings, the PC/XT indexes are all about 0.2.
But if I don't use RAMDRIVE.SYS, then the PC/XT indexes are around 12.4.
Nevertheless, Desqview itself seems to run okay either way.
What is going on here?
