Robert: Sounds like a ROM conflict. What version of QEMM? Optimize doesn't always find all the ROM areas to avoid on it's own, so you need to go through the drill outlined in the documentation: Set the command line param ON instead of RAM, run *all* your programs including CCOM, ACAD, anything that uses Expanded memory, etc, and then check Manifest to see the areas to Xclude in the command line. This requires some fiddling and occasional trial-and-error (crash-h-h-h, nope, don't have it yet…) As I said, I'm not sure I have my setup exactly right yet, but everything _usually_ runs okay. I get the occasional unexplained crash, but doesn't everybody? If you're using QEMM 6.0, this is even more critical with the Stealth technology, since it dynamically re-maps ROM's. Quarterdeck acknowledges that not every machine can successfully use Stealth, for unknown reasons… Michael
