I have a pif for Paradox 3.5 including the run parms: -real -extk 0 As far as I know, this means that Paradox is running in real mode (which is confirmed by the Custom script), and it will not attempt to access any extended memory. However, Windows always displays a dialog box indicating that I have attempted to run a protected mode application. I click on the dialog box to make it go away, and then I am able to use paradox (running in a window) with no problems. Does anyone know how to avoid getting this message?
