HELP!!!

One of my friends has just installed a memory board, with 4Meg, in his clone AT and everything works fine until he tries to start windows.  Here are the facts:
	- It comes up with the normal startup screen, but then immediately reports a protected mode violation.  
	- Himem.sys installs properly and BC++ can use it without any problem, but not windows.  
	- Before the memory board was installed windows ran without any problem(except for being slow).
	- The DOS is 3.3, windows is 3.0

PLEASE email any suggestions/comments!!!!!!

Thanks
Anthony
