I read about this problem last year in PC Week. The problem stems from Microsoft not using the LIM 4.0 standard that QEMM and others support. Therefore Windows 3.0 users cannot use QEMM. I also read however that Microsoft was going to send out a patch to their memory manager to allow Windows 3.0 to work with QEMM. I do not know if it's available or was ever made public. As far as your OUT OF ENVIRONMENT SPACE errors, I would increase the environment space in your config.sys file and try it again. To change the environment space, add or modify a text line similar to: shell=c:\command.com /P /E:1024 The /E parameter sets the amount of environment space (in bytes). Please don't forget to read the Windows manuals. I know it has a number of configuration files when you set up the Windows environment under DOS. If there are any Windows experts out there, please speak up! Hope this helps. -- Sincerely, Mark Pledger -------------------------------------------------------------------------- CTI | (703) 685-5434 [voice] 2121 Crystal Drive | (703) 685-7022 [fax] Suite 103 | Arlington, VA 22202 | mpledger@cti.com --------------------------------------------------------------------------
