 F No, my system is just fine. It's a Cel 850 with 384 MB RAM (by the way,

 DVD drive.

  What program reports occupied?

The FreeDOS MEM (it's the only program I know which i able to play with memory 
bigger than 64MB)

You'll need to post a MEM /X report and CONFIG.SYS. I don't know what 
occupied means.  EMM386 doesn't allocate EMS or VCPI until it's needed by 
something.

F drivers :(, and I have each time to unload CTMOUSE before. If I don't do it,

 CTMOUSE was works under Win3 and I always use it (though, not in

F With other (non-GPL) mouse drivers it works just okay and I am not forced to
F unload the driver before launching Windows 3.10.
F Is there a hint to make CTMOUSE not blocking the Windows 3.1 internal mouse
F driver?

 I don't know, why it prevents win-driver (in standard mode?) in your
configuration. Probably, there not enough APIs inside CTMOUSE for
interacting with Windows.

 BTW, which mouse you use (serial, PS) and in which mode (MS, LT, MSys)?

As i understand, emm386 switches the pc into protected mode (so it needs
VCPI).Then... is it in V86 mode? So wouldn't it be possible to make a
better error handling. I mean, if a program hangs or so, that not the
computer hangs and that you can terminate the program and work
continuesly. So that the program work in ring 3?
It is in V86 mode, but doesn't help a great deal.  Almost all DOS extended 
programs have their own address space and exception handling and EMM386 
isn't in control.  In real mode under the V86 monitor, a program which 
trashes any critical component of DOS or a driver before hitting an 
exception will crash the system.  And if they don't do that, there remain 
many ways to lock up a machine that is unrecoverable.

Despite this, EMM386 can successfully recover from some application errors 
with an abort message and termination to DOS.  It happens in my DOS 
sessions.  Go into DEBUG and Assemble the protected instruction LSL 
AX,AX.  You'll see it happen.

I'm using Win 3.1 in standard mode (the 386 mode unfortunately don't works 
with FreeDOS)

  BTW, which mouse you use (serial, PS) and in which mode (MS, LT,
 MSys)?

I tested that on two PC and it's the same on both. Both mice are normal PS/2 
mice. I haven't idea in what mode they are. I load just CTMOUSE2 in the 
AUTOEXEC, without any parameters.
