>> Why are you using QEMM? I have a Micron and I never use QEMM… Judy, Myself and most of the people I know in this business use QEMM for memory management (and I've used it from day one on my Micron!). It would not be the _type_ of memory manager you are using that would give you a page fault error! >> Page faults are software problems caused by software not hardware… WHAT? The most obvious problem would be that a memory address is being stepped on. …a memory address is used by a piece of _hardware_ and it's memory address is not being excluded (X=A000-CFFF) from whichever memory manager you are using (whether it be EMS386 or QEMM or ??). That being said, the software is trying to occupy a memory address that hardware is already using. Please be careful in your answers to these types of problems. Personally, I would reccomend a clean system boot as a starting point for diagnosing. Ralph
