Problem

Solutions: DR DOS may not allow Windows to run in Standard mode if EMM386.SYS is configured to use the upper memory blocks. Also, if the Support Windows In Standard Mode option is set to [NO] in the MEMMAX section of the DR DOS setup, then Windows will not be able to be run in Standard mode. In addition, the switch /WINSTD is needed to let EMM386.SYS support Standard mode (e.g., DEVICE=C:\DRDOS\EMM386.SYS /WINSTD).

EMM386 will also have other switches attached which SHOULD NOT be altered by support operators. Some of these switches are /F=nnnn and /K=nnnn which will alter the memory configuration.
