I recently put together a home-made system. My motherboard is a V503, the processor is a AMD K-2 300 running at 100 Mhz. I have a 6.4 Seagate drive. The problem is that after I installed 6.2 and put in win 3.1, I get an error than the xms drivers are not loaded and I cannot load win3.1. I need help.
Hi,
I'm not sure, but sometimes Himem.sys can't recognize the type of motherboard automatically and as a result can't handle XMS memory properly. In that case you need to add /MACHINE:XXX switch to Himem.sys line in Config.sys file and point your computer type directly. Instead of XXX you can use numbers (from 1 to 17) or special codes. For more information type HELP at the DOS prompt and look for Himem.sys.
Good luck, Igor M
