#Running in Protected mod
4 messages in this thread
I am not able to run 3ds 2.0 on my new Quantex Pentium 100 Mhz. When I try, I
get the following error message:>>The 386 chip is currently executing in
virtual 8086 mode under the control of another program. You must turn oof this
other program ion order to use 386|DOS-Extender to run in protected mode.<<
???
It must be some way they configured the system at the factory and I don't have
a CLUE on how to change it! I don't see anything in my autoexec or config files
that looks out of the ordinary. I hope you can help.

you need to REM out your memory manager in your config.sys file, for it to run.
If you are using just DOS, which is what it sounds like, rem out himem.sys and
emm386.exe. After that, it should just boot up.
What is happening now is you are trying to run two seperate incompatible memory
managers.
Pharlap doesn't actually need a seperate memory manager.
Tim,
Thanks for your help. It sounds like I ought to set up a multi-config boot for
start up since I believe most of my other programs run better with EMM.386
installed. I also won't be able to load stuff into UMB w/o HIMEM, right?
Anyway, I'll putz around with it some more. Thanks.

right, w/o himem, you won't be able to load anything high. Sounds like a
multi-boot is what you need.
