  • Getting Qemm/dos To Work On Win98se System

    From Harry Potter@rose.joseph12@yahoo.com to comp.os.msdos.misc on Sun Feb 7 10:40:18 2021

    I have an old Win98SE system at my mother's house with QEMM. I tried installing QEMM for DOS and after the driver loads, the computer stops booting. The keyboard works, but the computer just stops. What do I need to do to get QEMM to work?

    Get emm386.* from the win98 computer.
    It should have it ,or search setup floppys/Cd for it.
    Dont mix system files from w89 and DOS.
    Delete the emm386.exe and its entry in config.sys and try reboot.

    I just checked the bootfloppy, it does not contain or use emm386.

    Not all of QEMM's memory features work in Windows. So, don't enable all of them.

    It stops booting while in DOS mode, and I mainly need it for a special DOS setup.

    I would *STRONGLY* advocate for a menu in config.sys (if it still works
    in '9x) and only enabling QEMM when working in DOS mode.

    Aside: I think you can force the '9x boot menu to always display, with
    a default, including the old DOS option. -- I know that the old DOS
    option supports a config.sys menu in the DOS config.sys.

    The problem occurs in DOS mode at start-up.

    Sorry, DOS mode is somewhat ambiguous.

    Are you booting MS-DOS 7.x or an older version of MS-DOS?

    QEMM /may/ /not/ be compatible with MS-DOS 7.x.

    Dude, you shouldn't use DOS if you can't troubleshoot or doesn't bother figuring out constructive hints.

    Well...I think the problem is with DOS mode, as the lock-up occurs just after the DOS QEMM driver loads. I have QEMM97, whose Windows driver works fine, so it couldn't be an incompatibility with Windows.
