My 386 system uses DOS 5.0, QEMM 7.01 and SuperStor Pro with all drives compressed except for a small 2 meg partition used for QEMM and bootup. After installing ANI Pro 1.3 on one of the compressed drives, I was unable to get it to run at all, from DOS with QEMM returning Exception #13 errors (I think). QDPMI.SYS is installed. A bunch of non-ANI files got corrupted in the process. I was able to get ANI Pro to start from Windows 3.1 but apparently due to the corrupted files from trying to run it from DOS, I got a crash when I tried to exit from Ani Pro. The end result was that I had to do some extensive SSPro disk repair and re-install Windows to get rid of all the corrupted files. [1] Are there known problems with this particular configuration and are there any workarounds or fixes? [2] Would it be safer to run Ani Pro from Windows rather than DOS? This has been successful with other DPMI programs in the past, probably because the Windows DPMI mode is very solid and because QEMM is out of the picture when running in Windows. All suggestions welcome. Thanks. Tom
