That's the whole point.  Microsoft made it incompatible on purpose.
They decided not to be VCPI compliant.  Anything that tries to use
protected mode (QEMM, Paradox386, Autocad386, etc.) will have a LOT
of trouble in conjunction with Windows 3.0 Enhanced mode (or even
Standard Mode, for that matter.)

The folks at Quarterdeck are, as ever, on top of things.  They're fix
for this latest Microsoft attempt to increase software entropy is QEMM
5.1.  I've seen it, it works, and I'm a little amazed to see how
quickly they responded.

Please don't blame Quarterdeck for the (neverending?) shortcomings of
Microsoft.
