VxD Messages and What to do about them Qualitas MAX VxD ERROR 1014: Disk Cache or other File I/O Software Using EMS Memory. Qualitas MAX has detected EMS memory in use by a disk cache or other resident file I/O software. The other software may be a disk compression utility or a network. It is recommended that these programs use extended or XMS memory when operating in a Windows environment. Check EMS memory usage by typeing 386util/e in the Qualitas MAX directory to determine which programs are using EMS memory. If you MUST run Windows with this type of software, you may override the error message by editing your AUTOEXEC.BAT file and adding the DOS command SET EMSCACHE=OK. Qualitas MAX VxD ERROR: Unable to provide DOSMAX features. DOSMAX has detected that your system has less than 640 KB of conventional memory. Because the top of conventional memory does not correspond to the bottom of graphics memory (as it does on a system with 640 KB) DOSMAX features are unavailable. Most resident programs load into the lowest address memory available. If the software loads into the top of low DOS memory, DOSMAX for Windows won't work. The most common software that loads in this manner is software that is necessary for certain hard disk controllers. See DOSMAX for Windows in the on-line Help for additional information on DOSMAX. Qualitas MAX VxD ERROR: Qpopup is not running. The Qualitas MAX device will not be able to protect this DOSMAX window from programs attempting to enter graphics mode. QPOPUP.EXE is not loading from the WIN.INI file or the Startup group. Without this file, Qualitas MAX can't protect DOSMAX windows from programs that attempt to enter graphics mode. Check the LOAD= line in the WIN.INI file for the file. Reinstall DOSMAX by using the DOSMAX entry on the Startup tab of the Toolbox. Qualitas MAX VxD ERROR 1021: Qualitas MAX Stacks Required for DOSMAX Support. Remove STACKS=0 from the 386MAX.PRO file. Qualitas MAX stacks must be enabled in order to use the DOSMAX feature. Click Load DOS Stacks high on the Startup tab of Toolbox or remove the STACKS=0 option from the 386MAX.PRO file and reboot your system. Qualitas MAX VxD ERROR 1011: Busmaster disk subsystem detected that requires Qcache or other compliant disk cache to be loaded. Qualitas MAX detected a busmastering hard disk controller that does not support VDS. Alternatively, your 386MAX.PRO file contains the NOSCSI option. In either case, 386MAX.VXD expects to find a VDS-compliant disk cache program in memory. See the Qualitas MAX README file for additional information on busmastering controllers. Qualitas MAX VxD ERROR 2035: V86 RAM Page(s) in use. Modify RAM= statement(s) in 386MAX.PRO file to remove the following region(s): xxxx-xxxx(address) xxxx-xxxx(address) Windows 95 is attempting to use RAM pages that are already in use by Qualitas MAX. Remove the overlapping portion of the RAM= statement identified in the message from the RAM= statement in the 386MAX.PRO file and reboot the system. Qualitas MAX VxD ERROR 1020: 386MAX.SYS version mismatch. The versions of 386MAX.SYS and 386MAX.VXD that are in use do not match. Check that the current version of each file is in the Qualitas MAX subdirectory.
