I know this topic has been exhausted in the past, and let me know if I'm
missing something obvious...

A couple of weeks ago I was successfully running BCX under Windows in
386 Enhanced mode.  No problems.
Now (and I WISH I knew what I've done), it just won't work.

My system:
    A 386/33 ALR BusinessVEISA machine with 5Mb RAM, a 100Mb IDE drive,
    Trident SuperVGA, and DOS 4.01.

I've stripped my CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files to the bones.
All that is left is my Himem driver.
I've tried both version 2.60 and 2.77 of the Himem driver.

Here's what happens:

    o    No TKERNEL loaded, 569K RAM free, 4Mb extended --> XMS:
         BCX reports 0K extended memory free (XMS has it all)
    o    TKERNEL
         TKernel takes 88K RAM and all XMS minus 64K, and Windows 
         refuses to start due to "insufficient extended memory."
    o    TKERNEL kilos=1024
         BCX reports "cannot overlay BCCX.OVY due to TKERNEL
         already in use."
    o    TKERNEL hi=yes kilos=1024
         BCX aborts and Windows reports "This application has
         violated system integrity.  Shut down & reboot."

Like I said, it was working fine before I made some unknowing mistake.
Any ideas???

Thanks in advance!
