#QEMM conflict
6 messages in this thread
help! i just installed qemm 6.0 so i could run 3ds2 and windows without
having to reboot my machine. prior to installing qemm i had no problems
whatsoever with 3ds2. i have a 486 33 8mb ram and 340 mb hard drive. now
when i run qemm in different configurations i cant complete renderings of
complex objects problem 1: when i use qemm.sys x=d000-dfff, i am able to
render most complex scenes but above a certain level of complexity i get
kicked out of 3ds2 with an error saying 386:vm corrupted and my system
locks. problem 2:I took out the x=d000-dfff statement reran optimize and
when i render even minor scenes i get an error message no ram for rendering
mesh object. It appears that i am not able to use the virtual disk problem
3: when i am able to render scenes with the x=d000-dfff statement excluded
when i exit 3ds my system locks saying batch file not found.
I have played around with a number of configurations and have not found a
solution, i was wondering if any of the parameters involved with cfig386
would solve the problem or use different memory exclusions. However i
really dont fully understand the cfig386 commands and am totally clueless
about changing any other exclusions in memory. thanks sam coor
Sam,
I have no problem with sauch setups, so there is likely some other
hardware or software conflict going on. Excluding D000-DFFF makes sense
for a Targa or other graphic board at that address. I usually also Exclude
B000-B7FF for Windows compatibility, and make sure that my Windows
INI files exclude the same areas of memory. Except possibly for TSR's, I
suspect you may have an incompatible hard disk controller. My guess would
be that you have an IDE drive (that's the only time I see these types of
errors) and controller. Try swapping out for a controller from a different
manufacturer. With IDE, you do not need to reformat the drive – it's just
plug & play.

thanks, however i tried x=d000-dfff and low and behold i no longer have any
problems. by the way i am using a scsi. thanks for your prompt reply sam
Sheesh, what a configuration nightmare! Kevin's suggestions sound like a
great place to start working on it. Plus please give us a more-complete
list of what's in your system in addition to the hard disk controller. (ie,
display cards, ADI drivers, SCSI cards, etc)

since i postes the message i tried one more configuration x=d000-dfff and i
no longer have any problems! I got the configuration off ofasoft 1-2 weeks
ago for a similar problem someone else was having and just recently found
it thanks for your prompt reply sam
I'm glad that your problem is solved, Sam!
