Actually I think your problem is the  fact that you have *extended* instead
of *expanded* memory.  TP  will only use  conventional memory or *expanded*
memory.  I have the same problem.  You  could run a  driver that will allow
you to partition some *extended* memory as *expanded* and thus give TP more
memory to work with.  The only one  I found was  something like EMM386.SYS.
Since I only have a 286 I'm stuck.  I could  search for a  driver but since
Windows uses *extended* memory and I'm not  that trilled  with TV I figured
that I would be better if I let Windows use the memory and stick  to non-TV
based  TP code until I could  get a PC with more  horsepower and eventually
move to TPW.

Of course I could be all wrong!
