Here's the story on protected mode operations (just to clear the air on this question). In order to get Windows 3.0 to operate in protected mode you MUST have the himem driver loaded. As most of you know, this can't be done on a 640K machine because it has no hi-dos memory in which to load the himem driver. You basically need at least 1Meg to run in protected mode. -- "Organized fandom is composed of a bunch of nitpickers with a thing for trivial pursuit." -Harlan Ellison Patrick Deupree -> patrickd@chinet.chi.il.us
