 Question:
What do I do if I am having problems with the DOS extender ( DOS/4GW ) ?
Answer: Run PMINFO.EXE to determine what resources DOS/4GW can access.
Some things to try:
- Remove the EMM386 NOEMS option, if it is used without the NOVCPI option.
- Remove the EMM386 FRAME=NONE option, if you use it.
- Configure EMM386 with both the NOEMS and NOVCPI options.
- Convert the DEVICEHIGH statements in your CONFIG.SYS to DEVICE statements, and remove
the LH (Load High) commands from your AUTOEXEC.BAT.
- Run in a MS-Windows DOS box.
- Run with HIMEM.SYS alone (No EMM386).
- Set the environment variable DOS4GVM equal to 1, so that the virtual memory manager uses
the default values (SET DOS4GVM=1).
- Remove SMARTDRV and other memory intensive programs from your AUTOEXEC.BAT and
CONFIG.SYS.
- Try the below AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files. Make sure you change C:\FLOAT directory
to your tool directory.
If these work try to add the lines that you were using one at a time to determine the
problem.
