John, you didn't say, so I'm assuming that you are running ACAD386. If
you'll check your Config.sys, I think you'll find that DOS-5 is installing
the DEVICE=HIMEM.SYS. The Pharlap v2.2 with AutoCAD is incompatable with
the memory produced by HIMEM.SYS.
If you need Himem.sys installed, run NEWDX.EXE against ACAD.EXE. This will
upgrade Pharlap to v2.6 and ACAD will be happy. If not, simply remove
Himem.sys from your Config.sys.
ACAD11-386 vC2 comes with NEWDX on the last disk. …If you have v10-386 or
the original release of v11, you can download NEWDX from the libraries. I
don't know where it's located offhand, but you can browse for it. If you
have problems locating it …Holler back. …Bob<G>
