It all started when i wanted to upgrade to 32 megs on my 486/33 I'll skip to the end. I'm on my third motherboard, 2nd controller and at my wits end. This last board seemed to work jsut fine except when i wanted to access 3 [ADS studio it keep telling me that there was an error in the 3ds.set file which was never changed. when i finnaly had to rem that particular command it would give me an error at a diiferent command line on the 3ds.set file. So, i reloaded 3ds on to the machine. Now it wont let 3ds boot up. I get the message Fatal Error 386:vmm: stack pointer in unmapped page also i get memory allocation error. I have booted on the A drive and i get the same thing. i use qemm (device=c:\qemm\qemm386.sys x=d0000-dffff ram the targa+ boards is at targap.sys md PLEASE HELP ME. FOR MY CHILDRENS SAKE ROck……

Rock, Don't know whether it's a typo, but the memory addresses in the Xclude for QEMM should only have 4 digits (letters?), such as X=D000-DFFF. I would expect the error in reading the 3DS.SET file as you indicate to be due to a loose or improperly installed Math Coprocessor (probaly a Weitek, right?). Either way, make sure it's well-plugged in, & the BIOS is aware of it (with a Weitek, you may need to run the 67SETUP utility each time the machine boots). Kevin Krell – Computer Support Associates

The error you're getting re the 3DS.SET file usually means a bad or unseated Weitek chip. Hopefully that'll do it for you! – G
