- We had a problem like that in our lab once. We were installing an ATI
- VGA Wonder card in a machine and installed the ati windows driver into
- Windwos and all of a sudden. It wouldn't start up in enhance mode
- anymore. It took the rest of the afternoon of fiddling aroud with all
- sorts of thigns but nothing worked. So we turned off the machine a went
- home. Next day, we turn n the machine and everything worked. Enhanced
- mode et al. Still don't know why.
-
- The only other time Windows didn't want to go into enhance mode was when
- the machine wasinfected with a virus (so scan your machine). Oh, and one
- other time when we had a ramdisk that took all of the extended memory
- which we forgot to remove.
