I believe you need Qemm 5.11 for Windows compatability. If you read in your manual on DRDos, it says that the memory driver ( I believe it is called EMM386.sys ) is not compatable with Win3.0. You can put a question mark (?) before the DEVICE= in your config.sys DRDos will prompt you on boot if you want to load the driver or not. If you say no, then you can just use HIMEM.sys that came with Windows to run in Enhanced mode. If you say yes, then HIMEM wont load and you can use DRDos to load your TSR's in High memory. I played around with one DRDos system and was able to achieve 631K free conventional memory after loading a ton of crap high. I was pretty impressed. However to run Win3.0 in enhanced mode, I had to say no to loading the DRDos memory manager. As for the WINHIRAM.VXD, I have read other notes pertaining to this driver and I seem to remember referance to the fact that some software vendors supply updated versions to allow compatability with WIN3.0. You might try contacting the DRDos folks.
