Roytam,
How much ram is in your machine ? You need at least 2 MB to use "386 Enhanced" mode. To run Windows 3.0 in "386 Enhanced" mode type:

Win /3

As for emm386.exe, you must have himem.sys loaded in your config.sys *before* emm386.exe. Fro example,

------------- cut here --------------------
dos=high
device=c:\windows\himem.sys
device=c:\windows\emm386.exe ram noems
------------- cut here --------------------

I have a problem with windows 3.1. It won't start in enhanced mode unless i use dos 6.22, but dos 6.22 dosn't with fat32.

When loaded from a 98se boot disk it says i have an incompatable version of dos?

Any Ideas
Thanks
