- answered my own question. after reading the post about someone trying to speed
- up windows and having no problem with 256 svga, i coppied their config.sys.
- omitted my qemm memory manager commands, and used dos's emm and himem.
- reinstalled the trident 800x600 256c driver for 1 meg cards and i have no
- problem. it may help to note that the problem was a memory address conflict at
- B000 that was the comment. when i had qemm5 running. e-mail me if you would like
- to know more.
