Hi all,

thanks to those who replied to my earlier posts re QEMM and win3. 
BUT I still can't run windows in REAL mode!!

Symptom is now:

win /r -> logo, desktop, opens progman, and then blooie! no mouse or keyboard.
win /s 
win /3 -> perfect operation.

I've pared my config/autoexec down to:

CONFIG: 
device=c:\qemm386.sys ram rom X=b000-b7ff
dos=high
files=40
buffers=30
device=c:\loadhi.sys c:\smartdrv.sys 1024 256
shell=c:\command.com 

autoexec:
prompt $p$g

If I replace QEMM with HIMEM, and don't LOADHI then I get real/std/enh windows
just fine!!

Mark
