Larry, I agree, that's what I do when I run under Win. When not under Win, some older apps require expanded as opposed to extended though. Also agree that Qemm is the better route, especially for non-Windows use. Dave T-L
Heather, Now I hope that concept, drawing the line when buying a toy, doesn't catch on in my house. Anyway, I think the ISA would be likely to suit you fine, I kind of want the EISA for the future expansion, and for the EISA hard disk card. May be…
Heather, I'd second Craig's comments. I bought a GW2K 486/33 ISA last Summer and it has been trouble free. I'd also agree on the monitor, I just don't think the Crystal Scan NI they shipped(Mag Computronics made I think) was very sharp at high resolutions – unuseable at 1024 x…
Steve, Are you by chance using paperspace for plotting? If so, you should do the hide using the mview hideplot option in the drawing editor rather than the hide option in the plot menu. I have seen this behavior, in my case it would plot the border that was in…

Don, I noticed that your EMM386 call doesn't specify the amount of memory to convert. For some fool reason, when you just use "EMM386.exe ram", the default amount of memory converted to EMS is 256K. This is why ACAD reports only 240K of extended memory – if any memory is…
Ray, Wow, remember when we thought slide rules were tricky? I see what you are saying now, and I'm in agreement about flexibility. Sometimes I'm not sure who I want to string up first, the person who invented the dip-switch, or the one in charge of putting them in the…
Jeff, Well, I think it would be a good idea as well. I think that the >too stupid< part is a bit too strong though the >too busy< may be appropriate. I think most dealers are making a good faith effort to be as knowledgable as possible, but just as…

Jeff, As Larry said the complete error listing is not out there(having said which, I hope someone says I'm wrong, I'd love to have one as well). The book _Encyclopedia AutoCAD Release 11_ from Sybex does have a partial list in an appendix however, from which: "_Invalid Option Keyword_. AutoCAD…
Are you using a Display list driver, and if so is it installed when you boot, or at the time you open the DV window? If you are installing the driver in the window, try it the other way. Also try increasing the number of graphics pages in he advanced…
[Continued] Another thing I might look at is how much memory can be put on the mother board. One of the reasons I chose my current machine (Gateway 2000) was the ability to put up to 64Meg on the motherboard. Also ask how the memory is configured, i.e. if the…
Another opinion I concur with Dave on the monitor size. I've been using a 14" for a couple of years and a larger monitor is DEFINITELY on my "short list". My machine is similar to the one you are looking at, 486/33, 8Meg, 210M drive, and I have the Diamond…
