Only true if you have swapped the your boot drive to be a stacked drive.  If
so check the documentation.

P.P.S.  My 3.1 upgrade installed A-OK, and I am running MSDOS 5.0, QEMM386,
stacker, tons of TSR's, with a hard drive that would be full if not for
stacker, and a farenheit video card.  No problems. 

Try executing win /3 to see if you car force it to Enhanced mode.  I have
sometimes had problems without the /3 because QEMM memory didn't look 
right to windows to let it know it could go into Enhanced mode.  After
that, everything was OK.  The problem eventually went away, and I don't know
how.  This problem (feature?) may also exist with 386 max.
