- Here are a variety of fixes, hints and work arounds for Qemm386 and Windows
- 3. These are all official, but appear in a variety of places.
-
- First, there are two versions of windows 3.00 and 3.00A. The "A" version
- creates problems for qemm386 versions 5.10-5.11. The problems are fixed in
- qemm386 version 5.12.
-
- symptom: qemm386 worked fine with Windows 3.00 but now refuses to start
- or crashes with windows 3.00A of windows.
-
- If you have versions 5.10 or 5.11 of Qemm AND version 3.00A of Windows,
- then apply the following patch using debug or norton diskedit, or your
- favorite patcher.
-
- Find B5 19 Change B5 to D5 in both locations found
- Find C0 28 Change to 20 29
- Find c8 1A Change C8 to E8
-
- Write the changes and save the file. This patch fixed the inability of
- Qemm386 to start windows in Standard Mode for version 3.00A of windows.
- This patch will not let qemm386 work with version 3.00 of windows, SO
- you may wish to save the original before patching as qemm386.300 in case
- you need to install again on a system with 3.00 and not 3.00A of windows.
- Details of this patch are contained on Quarterdeck's BBS in a file called
- win300A.pat available to registered customers.
-
- If you are using the latest versions of Multisoft's SuperPCK disk cache
- with windows, either version, and Qemm386 then you need to do the following:
- First update to Windows version 3.00A.
- Second patch Qemm386.sys as described above.
- Third, apply the following additional patch to qemm386.sys.
-
- Find 75 06 01 0E Change 75 to EB
-
- Write the file and save it. This patch is required for ALL versions of
- Qemm386 (5.10, 5.11 AND the current 5.12 release). This patch is also
- documented on their BBS in a file called REALLOC.PAT.
-
- Troublesome systems can be helped by making the following three changes to
- the Windows SYSTEM.INI file. Try one at a time.
- Under the [386...] section add the following three lines.
-
- VirtualHD=off
- SystemROMBreakpoint=false
- EmmExclude=A000-EFFF
-
- Also, be sure files=30 or more in the COnfig.sys file, and use the NS
- (no sort) switch on the EMM386.sys command line in config.sys. If you still
- have problems call tech support at quarterdeck, they are very helfpul.
-
- Hope this helps keep you out of trouble.
