- Summary: problem with BCC 3.1 and dpmiinst.exe
- Keywords: BCC,dpmi

- Hi,
-
- I have a major problem with Borland CPP 3.1:
-
- When I run either of bc.exe, bcc.exe, cpp.exe, etc I get:
- DPMI server initialization error->machine not in database
-
- Okay, after the first shock I read in the documentation that one
- should run dpmiinst.exe in that case. I did and got the following:
-
- A20 was already enabled, so test is meaningless
- Cannot find method to enable A20
-
- DPMIINST is unable to make a conclusive analysis of this machine
-
- I have a 286 clone with 1 MB, am running DOS 5.0 on it. I tried with
- HIMEM.SYS and without, but same error message.
-
- I am also using the HyperDisk cache. When I tried to run DPMIINST
- w/o that and w/o HIMEM.SYS, it worked and updated the dpmi database.
- Now I can run TD, TASM, etc, but when I try BC to get the IDE:
- Cannot load DPMIMEM.DLL
- I checked: this file exists, even in the current directory (...\BIN)
-
- Can anyone of you think of how I get that sucker to run, please?
-
- Thanks so much in advance, I am desperate,
- Andy.
