One thing I can think of right now is that you might have too big of a
swapfile on your disk. Try this, boot up to windows and click on the
about option in help. Check to see if you are running in enhanced mode
or not.  Now go to the control panel group and select 386 icon. In this
program their are options to set swapfile size and temp/perm options.
Unless you run alot of apps at the same time, 2-3 meg swap should be
enough for most people,(besides I find it's unwise to run alot of apps
simultaneuosly, as they can conflict sometimes, mostly depends on your
memory amount but 4 mb should be plenty.). Anyway see how much you now
have assigned. You also should open filemgr and select view and options
to select view system/hidden files. You might have files(old undeleted
swap files taking up space.) that you can delete.

Hi networker,

It semms that your mouse is not a MS compatible one. In a situation like that you could try to install your mouse with all the
driver available in Windows. Maybe you have tried this already. If it is the case, the only thing to do is to buy another mouse.

This may seem like an elementary problem but I have wanted to get the
msdos prompt in a window so I can do some file maipulation on the fly.
My problem is that when I changed the .PIF file from full-screen to
windowed, and run the msdos prompt my screen changes from 800X600 to
1024X768. My monitor is okay with this but there should be a way to do
this without having the screen resolution changing (I think). Any help
would be greatly appreciated. My system is a 386/33 w/4 meg ram and the
video card is a Orchid prodesigner IIs.
Has anyone else had this problem?

A few weeks ago, it was said in this newsgroup that there were new 
sound drivers available which would allow a sound card to be installed 
with windows and also used from windows DOS boxes. This does not work 
with any driver I tried, including the above mentioned one.

The restrictions disallow you from distributing the actual result file in the

You need an extended memory manager to load these programs high.  HIMEM.SYS

	My brother and I, and many other people who respnded to my post

a 'general protection error' caused by NDW.  The problem was fixed by deleting
some config files that NDW uses. (and creates).  Someone correct me if I'm
wrong, but the patch protects from these corrupt data/config. files.  
When you get one of these you can't call up windows until you change

I use Windows 3.1 with an ATI Wonder XL. When windows starts up the logo
screen appears garbeled, but the desktop will appear fine.
The desktop works smoothly until I try a DOS program. If I start the
application in a windows (or a full screen and then exit) the desktop
will "jump" and the desktop will garble. I can still exit (Alt-F4 and Enter),
and restart windows.
I have 3.0 Drivers for the ATI, and I understood that the 3.1 SVGA driver
shoudl support the ATI.
I use QEMM 6.01, DOS 5.0 4DOS 4.0. The problem was the same with DR-DOS 6.0
and without QEMM.

Any Advice?

Where the problem comes in, is with DMA bus master type cards. These need
an area of low memory for their DMA buffers. An ASPI manager (at least
Adaptec's) provides this, and hooks INT13 to make sure all plays well.

What will happen most likely, is that if you don't have an ASPI manager,
and you load your disk cache into high memory, then invoking Windows will
usually corrupt your disk, and do so very quickly. This is because Windows
uses upper memory regions, and will conflict with the DMA buffer.

SmartDrv in double buffer mode will avoid this by using 2 buffers, but
performance suffers. Loading a good cache, like hyperdisk in low memory,
also avoids the problem. If you want the cache loaded high, and run
Windows, then load the ASPI manager and all will be OK.

I don't use Stacker, but I had similar problems with my Excel 4.0.
It turns out that I had a corrupted excel.exe file. Another problem
may be a corrupted permanent swap file. Fixing the swap file is easier
to do. Simply tell Windows that you don't want one and it will delete
the current one. Exit and re-start Windows. Then, Setup a new swap
file from Control Panel.

If this doesn't work, try reinstalling Excel. It will rebuild your excel.exe
file. Be sure to backup any worksheets, etc., as well as your global
macro sheet (if you've added to it).

If this doesn't work, I'm afraid I don't have any other ideas....sorry!

Here's what creative labs tech support told me to do and it works:

Go into the system.ini file under the 386Enh section and change all of the

Well, at this point, it seems that your most viable option (although not the
most pleasant option) is to reformat your hard drive using fdisk (or the 
appropriate analogy in ms-dos 5.0--I'm using DR DOS 6.0).  :(  Normally, when 
your hard drive's FAT has been corrupted it need to be either "fixed" with 
PC-Tools/Norton Utilities/Mace Utilities (difficult and dangerous) or 
reformatted (time consuming).

If you decide to reformat, try the following:
1)  install ms-dos 5.0
2)  install superstor and prepare your hard drive (reserving what you need 
uncompressed) and reboot
3)  install 386max and copy that directory to drive d: (the drive superstor
swaps your compressed drive with) along with the ms-dos 5.0 directory
4)  reboot and run maximize
5)  if everything is still running smoothly, install the rest of your programs,
run maximize, then run update from the ssutil menu

Hopefully, everything is running ok after all this.  This was the procedure I 
used to get everything running smoothly on my computer.  The only difference is
that I'm using qemm (which came with DESQview/X), DR DOS 6.0 (which includes a
different version of superstor), and SuperStor Pro.  The odd thing is, when I 
need to run optimize after running update, I need to re-install qemm each 
time... not much of a hassle, but quite annoying nevertheless.

Hope this helps.  If not, definitely contact the 386MAX people.  Quarterdeck 
had white papers/technical notes detailing using superstor with qemm386 and 
using dr dos (and it's version of superstor) with qemm386.  Maybe Qualitas (the
people who publish 386MAX, right?) has similar material or has figured out how 
to use superstor with 386MAX and has technical support people who could tell 
you could tell you how they did it.  Those white papers from quarterdeck were 
extremely helpful.  I don't think I would have gotten things to work so 
smoothly without out them.

Go and BUY, beg, borrow or steal a copy of the Microsoft WINDOWS RESOURCE KIT.

This kit is a manual and set of disks with supplementry utilities.

The manual takes you through all the [section] settings for all the INI files
and explains in detail what they do and what options you have.

Worth every cent.
