- HELP!
- My computer keeps locking up using Windows 3.1! Does anyone else have a
- problem where one is using windows and the computer just locks up as it is
- or as it writes/reads a file from the hard disk (I have a 200MB IDE drive)?
-
- I am using a 386/25 DX chip with an AMI BIOS (1989) and the motherboard oper
- ates with 0 wait state and I have an expansion memory board from Boca Research
- that operates with 0 wait state.
-
- DOS is in the high memory area, I do not use an extended memory manager,
- I have two programs (FASTOPEN and KEYB.COM) 'LOADEDHIGH' and I have 4 devices
- in 'DEVICEHIGH' in CONFIG.SYS. Do I need an extended memory manager for these
- to work properly? I have all of my memory set in extended so I use it in
- windows but the computer keeps locking up!
-
- Any help would be greatly appreciated!
