Lockups With DOS 5.0 And EMM386.SYS |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The customer has MS DOS 5.0 and the EMM386.SYS that comes with it. When he starts WordPerfect his computer locks up. The /32 option does not work, but /NE does allow him to enter WP. Microsoft told him that their EMS driver is fine and that he should contact WP about the problem. Solutions: This was tested on an identical Model 55/SX with 4M of memory. The problem occurred until a conflicting I/O card was removed. Quarterdeck's Expanded Memory manager did not have problems on the machine even with the I/O card. This indicates that QEMM 5.12 is a little more sensitive to conflicts. Testing with the customer revealed that the problem was with the TOKEN Ring network card. After this was removed, the memory worked correctly. *This information is given strictly as a troubleshooting option. |
