Is there a way to get 3DS to run under Win3.1 and DOS5.0 with the latest HIMEM, EMM386 and SMARTDRV? Whether or not this is slow, is better than never using it. I've heard that this combination is now VCPI compliant and should run. I would settle for atleast running directly from DOS with my same config settings. I prefer not to have to purchase QEMM. When starting up 3DS (without WIN3.1 running) with my current config settings I get the following Message: "The 386 chip is currently executing in virtual 8086 mode under the control of another program. You must turn off this other program in order to use 386|DOS-Extender to run in protected mode." My config file is: DEVICE =C:\UTILITY\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS DEVICE =C:\UTILITY\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE noems x=c000-c7FF DEVICEhigh=C:\UTILITY\WINDOWS\setver.exe SHELL =C:\UTILITY\WINDOWS\command.com /P /E:750 BUFFERS =5 FILES =80 BREAK =off STACKS =0,0 LASTDRIVE =e DOS =umb,high My autoexec.bat file is: VERIFY off PROMPT $P$G SET COMSPEC=c:\utility\windows\COMMAND.COM SET TEMP=d:\temp PATH C:\utility\windows LOADHIGH C:\utility\windows\share.exe LOADHIGH C:\utility\mouse\lmouse.com C:\UTILITY\WINDOWS\SMARTDRV.EXE 5120 5120 rem call C:\UTILITY\NETWORK\PROGRAMS\NET.BAT win/3 I'm running a 486/33 with 20Mb of RAM, a Video7 VRAMII w/1Mb. I appreciate your response and suggestions for a .PIF file. Thanks in advance, Jeff
