Hi,
 I've been trying to run my Orchid Prodesigner VGA card
in VGA mode with the QEMM386 extended memory manager 
installed. Unfortunately, there appears to be some
sort of memory/addressing (?) conflict. Trying to use
VGA (or EGA) mode causes an error message "Exception.."
to appear after which the machine reboots. Is there any
way to prevent QEMM from using high memory between
640 and 1000k?  I think something similar has been discussed
here before, but I missed it. Any help/pointers would be
very appreciated. (Disabling Video BIOS shadowing doesn't
seem to make any difference.)

Thanks,
  Paolo Coppi (coppi@tapir.caltech.edu)
