- Hi,
-
- I have a 386/40Mhz with 4Mb RAM, a 40MB hard disk (with stacker2.0 -> 80MB)
- ,an EGA card, a genius mouse , DOS 5.0 and WINDOWS 3.1 installed.
-
- Windows works well in standard mode. It works fine in 386 Enhanced Mode
- except that I cannot run MS-DOS program: they all crash the system.
- I suspect the EGA card because that the only obsolete part on this system,
- but It might come from anywhere else !
- Has someone experienced the same problem. Any pointers would be
- appreciated.
-
- Here is how my config.sys looks like:
-
- device=C:\HIMEM.SYS
- device=C:\EMM386.EXE noems
- DOS=HIGH,UMB
-
- rem device STACKER
- DEVICEHIGH=C:\STACKER\STACKER.COM C:\STACVOL.DSK
- DEVICEHIGH=C:\STACKER\SSWAP.COM C:\STACVOL.DSK /SYNC
-
- rem device EGA
- devicehigh=C:\WINDOWS\ega.sys
-
- rem Norton Anti-Virus
- DEVICEHIGH=C:\UTIL\NAV\NAV_.SYS
-
- rem Variables systemes
- FILES=30
- BUFFERS=30
- SHELL=C:\DOS\COMMAND.COM /p /e:1024
- STACKS=9,256
