I've set 512Kb for SMARTDRV when in Windog, but NOT when in MS-DOG!!! (Maybe this is the cause...) OK, now I'm going home and trying without SMARTDRV (maybe...), in my next posting I'll give you the report of GO32 on my system, both in DOS and Windows! I'm nearly sure this is a memory problem (at least for the "DPMI: not enough memory" error :-). For the INFO error: couldn't it be related to the problem once was posted inherently its use by disabled people (sorry if this is not the right term, English is not my idiom, I'm Italian...)
