It works fine with all 'Normal' applications (i.e. that don't use extended memory). But when I use ACAD (version 10) with EXTENDED AUTOLISP, I get an error like this : Need VCIP within virtual 8086. (What does this mean). My configuration : -TRIGEM '386VE with '387 25Mhz. -640KB base Ram, 3MB extended memory. -Dos 4.01 with 4DOS3.02a, I am using the dos version of EMM386.SYS. Note : when I use the shipped EMM386.SYS I don't get this error, but then some (this got shipped with DOS 3.3, I am now using 4.01) other applications don't run propperly, also I get a very strange output on mem /debug (it states that all EMS handles are defined, and it shows very strange names for those handles (it looks more like a memory dump to me...)) Help would be appreciated... -- +------------------+-----------------------------------------------------+ | Hayo R.
