Hello, I've been running some experiments using DPMI to find out the
VMID of a DOS window under enhanced mode. I start up 2 dos shells and
run vmid.exe (a 4 line C program which prints out the result of the
INT 2F AX=0x1683) and I get a reasonable answer.   The problem comes
when I exit the DOS window.  The first window exits fine.  The
second window puts up the infamous windows "corrupted memory" error
and cancels the window.  When I exit windows, DOS doesn't respond
to the keyboard (but cntrl-alt-del works).

Has anyone succesfully used the GET_VMID function?
