How?!?!?

With only 1MB in your machine you have neither. Enhanced mode requires a minimum of 2MB to run in Enhanced mode, and even then it's dicy. You sometimes have to force Windows into Enhanced mode with only 2MB with the win /3 run command. As far as Standard mode, I think that you again need 2MB,and if you have this, why not run in enhanced. I think standard is more for 286 Machines that have either Extended or Expanded memory. However you can run a 386 in standard mode with 2MB with the win /s run command. Hope this helps.
