Oops! This was intended as a private reply. I had a problem with DOS 4 and QEMM386 v. 4 early in the year. It gave me problems like the above and also prevented me from formatting 3.5" floppies in drive B:. When I removed QEMM, the problem went away. I was busy and didn't have time to track down the problem. I just quit using QEMM. Then Win3 came along and I couldn't use it anyway. I've since gotten QEMM 5.1 and I am not having the old problems. I don't use the same parameters on my QEMM device statement as I did then, so I assume one of the parameters caused the conflict. BTW, I've been using QEMM 5.1 for about a week now. I use it with Win3 and it saves me 80K-100K of base RAM. So far, no problems. Based on this limited experience, I can highly recommend QEMM 5.1 to anyone. I apologize for my earlier followup. -- Marshall L.
