Hi, short comment, if your xmsdsk crashes, then probably ALL uses of XMS could trigger crashes. I had similar problems even with loading FreeCOM for example. Try if DOS=LOW instead of DOS=HIGH in config sys stabilizes the system. Try newer HIMEM versions or alternate versions like FDXMS. Last time when I had XMS related crashes I was using an old FDXMS or MS HIMEM version with some A20 control method (auto-)selected which did not work reliably. You can get newest HIMEM in the newest emm386 download on ftp://ftp.devoresoftware.com/ - check the freedos.org -> software list for the FDXMS alternate driver. Devore's HIMEM versions usually work best, though.
Eric PS: Check a kernel update from fdos.org/kernel/ as well. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Power Architecture Resource Center: Free content, downloads, discussions, and more. http://solutions.newsforge.com/ibmarch.tmpl _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
