I have been having some problems with windows 3.0 (Made
especially for the intel 386-inboard) and using
enhanced mode... someone please help!!! 

My problem is this: I have a 386-inboard on a pc-xt (ok.. so I
don't have the money for a new system). It has 4 megs of ram
beyond the 640k base. I also am running a cd-rom storage unit,
and a paradise VGA board with 256k (i think). Anyway, I can not
run windows in enhanced mode. When I boopt my system up with the
cd-rom unit on, I can not run the Paradox database from windows.
I am not using QEMM, but I did push it on once to see where my
memory was, and there was only 476 k standard memory left. I have
a lot of unused hi-mem, but I can not push anything in there. I
am todl that Windows in Enhanced mode does this, but if I run
enhanced mode, it works until I go into an application and back.
When I come back, my mouse has gone wacky and I have to exit
windows and come back in again. Does anyone know what I can do?
My DOS is taking up 122k of standard memory. That seems awfully
high to me... other than that I don't know what to do... 
and I warn you, I am no computer whiz.

(I tried running windows/e I think for single applications, but
that would not do it either).

Either I need to figure out what is screwing the enhanced mode
up, or move the drivers to hi-mem. I have had too many problems
with QEMM to think about keeping it.

thanks fo r any help you can give me...
