I'm pretty sure it actually slowed down some of the processes... 2> I have to configure QEMM more correctly... (something about a db=4 setting in my CONFIG.SYS) 3> Yes I do have a permanent, and no, Norton does not flake with my windows 4> the central cause of the problem is the SCSI host adapter, because it's got its own BIOS... my hypothesis is that QEMM wont work because it tries to loadhi stuff into memory in places where it will cause a conflict with the SCSI BIOS... SuperPcKwik, now, that's something I'm not sure of... Right now, I'm running windows with QEMM 5.11, without loading anything into himem (yet), with Smartdrv... things are back to normal (I can even compile my windows stuff...) tonight I'm going to try to get QEMM to load stuff into himem... if that's a success, then my only problem is finding the right cache program (is Hyperdisk (hypercache?) 4.0 any good?)
