Try setting EMS required to zero.

Has anyone gotten BC or BCC to work in a window in Enhanced mode without
crashing other
windows?  If I open two windows, then run BC or BCC in one, the second
window will crash 
when I switch to it and try to enter a command.  This happens to me
every time one two
different machines.

If anyone else has experienced this, please let me know so I can contact
Borland's Tech
support line.
