A person in my office is getting the following message from Windows 3.0:

  THIS APPLICATION HAS INSUFFICIENT MEMORY FOR ITS DISPLAY.
  CHECK THE PIF SETTINGS TO ENSURE THEY ARE CORRECT.  IF THE
  DISPLAY IS ERRATIC, RESTART THE APPLICATION.

This happens when he tries to start up Word Perfect 5.1 in a DOS window
while running in 386 enhanced mode.  We've fiddled with various combinations
of PIF settings, including turning on both "high graphics" and "retain
video memory".

The environment:  IBM PS/2 model 70 4meg memory
                  Standard IBM VGA mode
                  Windows 3.0 in 386 enhanced mode
                  Word Perfect 5.1
                  QEMM
                  PC DOS 3.3

Does anyone know what memory the message is referring to, and if there is
anything we can do to resolve the problem?

Thanks for any help you can give.  Please reply via email.
