After using DOS under various version of Windows with no problems for years
I'm "locking up" often under Win XP Pro. I looked at some of the newsgroup
threads for help but haven't solved it. It appears sluggish and
consistantly locks up now. The machine is not on a network. I deleted all
.lck and .net files.
I invoke Paradox with this batch file:
paradox.exe -extk 12000 -emk 0 -diag -tablek 8000 -bios -share -nettrace
My config.nt has these settings:
emm = B=4000 RAM
dos=high, umb
device=%SystemRoot%\system32\himem.sys
FILES=99
BUFFERS=99
LASTDRIVE=Z
(NOTE: I added the emm statement today based on a newsgroup reply...didn't
do anything to help)
The autoexec.nt just has some path settings.
The properties on the MS_DOS command.com prompt has all the memory settings
on AUTO. Protected conventional memory is checked. Uses HMA is checked.
I "always suspend" the background under the MISC tab.
Anything I'm doing wrong? Thanks.
