Thanks for the reply David. My computer does use shadow ram and bios
in the F page of memory. Also I have excluded areas A000-C7FF, which was the
recommendation of my paradise VGA manual for their card, even though I still
think I might be able to use some of that. All the rest is used by qemm.
Outside of calling up Everex and asking them what else I might exclude I don't
know how I would go about finding out.
I did increase my common memory in the DV setup, so I will see if that does
any good for now.

Ok thanks, Mark. I will try those out and see what happens. Right now I just
exclude one large area A000-C7FF for VGA and set RAM in Qemm for High Ram.
Don't know if I should limit this with a address or not? Not much info about
Maps in the manual.
Thanks,

Thanks for the reply Bob, but I don't think that is the problem, as everything
works fine out of Desqview! Also I just upgraded to a WD 1006 controller and
did low level formats to both my drives including adding all bad tracks, etc.
It's something with DV or QEMM or both.

Try
device=qemm.sys ram= include=b000-b7ff
in your config.sys. After I have run XDV I get 565k windows on a 386SX with
VGA using that config. Files and buffers probably account for the remaining
few k.

Try loading QEXT.SYS after Qemm or Before qemm.. That should fix it up

You might try eliminating some of the programs loaded high (if
there is not enough room to load high, it loads into conventional memory).
I have had 589k windows under DOS 3.3 along with a Paradise VGA adapter.
Even with a SCSI bios excluded, I have a lot larger than 520k available.
If the problem is not the number of TSR's loaded high, check the
date on your DV .exe file (there at least 3 2.25 versions; 3-22-89 seems to
be one of the more bug free versions).
One last thought, try QEMM.COM outside of DV and look at the memory
map that it shows. It may shed some light.

Subject: QEMM 386 problems...
Help!
I just recently upgraded my 286 motherboard to a Precision 386SX motherboard
and added QEMM 386 4.23 to my old DESQview 2.22 and am having some
problems....
1) Whenever I use use Telix at 9600 baud it will lock up sooner or later.
This seems to only happen with BBSs that are 1t 9600 baud+. And yes I do
have a 16550A UART installed. I have been running the same setup on a 286
for a long time without problems. I did discover that my VGA card used
memory from A000-BFFF and I excluded that area but it didn't help. The
system seems to lock up during a file transfer or when the screens are
scrolling by.
2) When I have a graphics screen in the 640x480x256 mode and change to
another window and then return the screen graphics are lost. DESQview saves
the graphics on a 320x200x256 screen fine but not for 640x480x256 and higher.
Any ideas?
Any suggestions or feedback at all would be appreciate as I'd hate to give up
DESQview after using it for such a long time. (And I thought going to a
386SX was moving up in the world!!)

Same trouble here. Telix has been unreliable under Desqview with random
lock ups. The only way I have found to gain some measure of reliability
is to load Tame203 before Telix. It's not perfect but it works.
I exclude all video memory and all rom memory from QEMM's use.
