#QEMM conflict
Sam,
I have no problem with sauch setups, so there is likely some other
hardware or software conflict going on. Excluding D000-DFFF makes sense
for a Targa or other graphic board at that address. I usually also Exclude
B000-B7FF for Windows compatibility, and make sure that my Windows
INI files exclude the same areas of memory. Except possibly for TSR's, I
suspect you may have an incompatible hard disk controller. My guess would
be that you have an IDE drive (that's the only time I see these types of
errors) and controller. Try swapping out for a controller from a different
manufacturer. With IDE, you do not need to reformat the drive – it's just
plug & play.
