Running NoUniVBE beforehand didn't help much either, as it caused it to immediately crash instead of hang (an improvement - at least it didn't reset the weeCee). NoUniVBE is execlusivly for 5.3a did you tried the 6bitdac tool? 6bitdac simply let the VESA bios report that it is not capable of …

your com program that is doing the 4B needs to resize its memory with 4A, taking your stack into account. i don't need further dynamic memory allocation in this case, so i think it is ok that the called program claims all memory until its exited no, your exeload needs to resize itself to its …

I remember MASM/LINK specifically has a command line argument to set the max allocation size to something else other than 0xFFFF. I also remember it's a command line argument, not a directive.
