#Weird PC/Imagine stuff
3 messages in this thread
I have just started using Imagine on my Dell 486/66. I have noticed
one conflict with emm386. When I type "imagine" to start the program,
the screen blanks for a second, then returns to the Dos prompt. I
tried this running both Dos 5.0 and Dos 6.0. As soon as I removed the
line in my config.sys file that started emm386, all was well.
Incidentally, I tried this on two different machines with different
display cards, one was an ATI Ultra Pro, the other the stock Dell
local bus S3 chip. Both worked when I didn't use emm386.
Other than that, after using Imagine on an Amiga 3000 for so long, the
PC version is so similar, but the screen redraws on a my 486 are
really fast, as are renderings. I can get used to this.
As per the addendum you should have received, start IMAGINE with the /NOXMS
switch.

Anyhow, I solved the problem by using the version of emm386 that comes with Dos
, not the one that comes with Windows.
Make any sense? Me neither, but I have the program running fine now. I did
receive an addendum with Imagine, and there is no mention of the /noxms switch.
After a call to Impulse I was told to us /noems.
I have not tried /noxms, which I will try next. However, I did notice that
problem occurred with Dos 5 and 6
