     I am currently experiencing problems with HIMEM.SYS on my computer.
I need HIMEM.SYS in order to run my applications from WINDOWS.  HIMEM.SYS
is causing problems with my floppy drives.  The problem is trying to save
a retrieved file to another disk.  When I try to do this, I get a disk error
34.  I believe it is looking for the original disk, because those retrieved
files are still open on that disk.  When I take HIMEM.SYS out of my
CONFIG.SYS file, I don't have this problem.  I can save retrieved files to
any disk.

     The company I have WINDOWS registered through is ZNIX.  I called their
technical support staff.  They told me to add STACKS=0,0 to my CONFIG.SYS
file.  Unfortunately this did not work.

     I have a PC compatible 80386 33mgh machine.  I am currently running
DOS 4.01.

     If you have any information that can be of help to me I will greatly
appreciate it.
