Hi, Billy. 3DS dosen't _need_ expanded memory! In fact, I run it with _no_ memory manager at all with excellent results. Using QEMM helps when you need expanded memory for other programs or if you need to direct TSRs, device drivers, etc. to specific memory segments. I always have my clients start with a totally clean configuration, get 3DS working, and go from there. All you need to know is in the Installation & Performance guide — honest! Have a good one. -Alan

>>I run it with _no_ memory manager at all with excellent results. Me too, on some machines I can get away with this (Like the Gateways) but the Compaqs REQUIRE it if you have more than 16 megs of memory. I'm sure Compaq is not alone in this area but in this day and age it surprises me that this particular memory problem continues. Jamie

Agreed…At least we can usually find work-arounds fairly easily. I use a different configuration for almost every application — Just run a re-config/reboot batch file — takes a very little time and guarantees a optimum configuration for the particular program I need at the time. BTW, nice work up there at ADesk! Your "Clouds" upload was a big hit down here. Keep up the good work! -Alan
