Any clues? Please POST to me. Thanx in advance. I've found that the QEMM/Enhanced mode combo just works on some machines, and doesn't work on others. For instance, it doesn't work at all on the machine in my room (it gives me an exception #13, which I haven't seen on anybody else's...) In the school's PC Lab, my problem is even more bizarre: It loads fine until I LOG IN to the Novell SFT 2.15 network. Loading IPX and XMSNET4 doesn't matter; it only fails if I log into the network. Standard mode still works. QEMM 5.11 claims to be happy with Win3 enhanced, but I've found that it really varies. If it doesn't like your machine, you're hosed. -- Jason Merrill jmerrill@jarthur.claremont.edu
