QEMM386: Exiting Windows 3.0 and Starting Word Reboots System
This article was previously published under Q69300
Quarterdeck's QEMM386 memory manager version 5.11 or earlier causes any
program that uses expanded memory to reboot the system after you exit
Microsoft Windows version 3.0. For example, if you start Microsoft Word
for MS-DOS, version 5.0 or 5.5, immediately after you exit Windows, the
system will reboot.
Quarterdeck Systems has confirmed this to be a problem with versions
5.11 and earlier of the QEMM386 driver.
You can avoid the problem by doing the following:
- Start Word with the /x switch to disable Word's use of expanded
memory.
- Use the extended memory manager HIMEM.SYS included with Windows
3.0 (instead of QEMM386.SYS).
Quarterdeck corrected the problem in the QEMM386 memory manager version
5.12. A complementary upgrade to version 5.12 can be obtained from
Quarterdeck's technical support.
