Well, I don't know whether to address this to Kevin or Roland, so I'll choose Roland. Dear Roland, It was very kind of you to reply to my post. However, I must make two corrections in what you wrote lest anyone think it should be emulated. In article <1992Apr13.163247.26720@murdoch.acc.Virginia.EDU> roland@turing.acs.virginia.edu (Kevin R. McGrail) writes: >Ok well its been a long time since i messed with loading things high >but lets see if i cover all the bases: >config.sys file must have in this order atthe beginning >device=c:\dos\himem.sys >device=c:\dos\emm386.exe RAM NOEMS The above line contains a discrepency: loading EMM386.EXE with RAM and NOEMS is incompatible. NOEMS allows you to utilize the UMB's without emulating Expanded Memory. Loading with RAM allows you to do both. Therefore, EMM386.EXE should be loaded with either RAM or NOEMS not both. I use NOEMS since I let Windows 3.1 do my expanded memory management for me. >DOS=HIGH,UMB >devicehigh=mouse.sys etc... etc... etc... > >in the autoexec.bat file you do >loadhigh mouse.com > The mouse driver should be loaded from either config.sys or autoexec.bat, not both. >Hope this helps >-- Not really, but as I said, Thank you for caring enough to respond. ><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Cherry Nyquil and Tequila>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Do you have a name for this drink!
