Lines: 10 I presently own a Tandy 1000TL(yes, I know, bad choice) which has a 286 but an 8-bit bus. As far as I can tell, the thing won't switch into protected mode. I was running VMIX which would've put it in protected mode, but the thing locks If I tell it to not to switch, it works fine. I also experienced the same effects when running Windows 2.somethingoranother. Does anybody have any ideas why? Is this a hardware problem? or software? or is my machince going nuts? Any help would be GREAT! Joel Lucsy | My computer IS intelligent! JJLUCSY@MTUS5.BITNET | It even has temper tantrums!
