I recently installed Windows 3.0 on one of the 386's in the office.  The
machine has 4 megs of extended ram, a 40 meg harddrive with 15 megs free, and a
Hercules Clone video.  The problem is that Windows 3.0 will only run in Real or
Standard mode.  Windows will not run in Enhanced mode.  I have tried
re-installing Windows, but to no avail.
The config.sys is as follows:
files = 30
buffers = 20
device = c:\himem.sys
device = c:\dos\ansi.sys
device = c:\dos\smartdrv.sys 1024 512

The autoexec.bat is as follows:

echo off
cls
c:\dosaphics
win


If I try to force Windows into enhanced mode (win /3) the machine hangs up.  I
am using MS-DOS 4.01.

I am currently using Windows 3.0 on my 386 at home in enhanced mode with no
problems!  (I have been running Windows 3.0 since it came out)

Any suggestions greatfully appreciated!

Frank
