I have posted the following problem a few weeks ago. Much to my surprise,
nobody responds to my quest for help (except a few mail sending me condolence
and wish me luck to be a functional member of the society again). I decided
I should give it one more try. This time, if you know the solution, please
give me a hand.

Here comes the problem:

I am using a 12MHz AT with 3 meg RAM (1 meg on board and 2 meg on a no-name
RAM board). The memory was set to 640K conventional memory, 384k extentded
memory (used as cache) and 2048K expanded memory. But when I try to run
Desqview, problems came up. The Expanded Memory row in the memory status 
program will show that: Totol Memory :2048K, Total Available: 2048K, 
Largest Available : 0 k. I don't think the problem lies on the EMM 4.0 
driver because Norton Utilities and Window 286 both recognize the fact that 
I have 2048K of Expanded memory. BTW, Pagemaker used very little (about 512K)
of the expanded memory when it is running. It seems to prefer its own temp 
file. Do you guys know what the problems are?

Appreciate any help that I can get. Thanks!
