Re: No space for EMS page frame with PCMCIA drivers

wierd_w: QEMM's Stealth modes allow one to put UMBs where ROMs are by trapping accesses to such ROMs, switching them in upon access then switching RAM back in upon exit.

Did you try "I=CA00-DFFF"? I don't understand why Checkit 3 reported it as UNKNOWN, but EMM386 doesn't detect it. Also, "I=B000-B7FF" should buy you an extra 32k UMBs at the cost of mono modes which are almost never used anyway.

Well...Specifying HIGHSCAN on EMM386's command line might buy you more memory, but it couldn't help your situation. 🙁 Have you tried UMBPCI? It helped me get UMBs and EMS on a Win98SE tower in Windows mode. You can find a link to it at https://dosprograms.info.tt/indexall.htm#utils.

I really don't want to do a full reinstall of everything, as I have a whole lot of things installed on it, including some that were already installed on it. Myne: I will try to remember next time I'm at my mother's house.

Thank you. The program right now is displaying a whole lot of diagnostic information upon execution and is only displaying two tokens after sorting. This shouldn't be, as the text compiles to 1370 bytes uncompressed. Earlier in the process, the raw tokens found were more realistic, though.

Maybe the numbers I was getting were due to a syntax error in the example test file causing much of one string from compiling correctly, as after the correction, I was doing horrible. :( I've gotten it to work several times, but the compression ratio was horrible. :( While it's doing its job, it's …

I don't know why, but it got past there now. Now, I have another problem: I was reinstalling Windows at the time, and now, I'm getting the exception error while it's installing the hardware. 🙁

If you mean about Daemon Tools, I tried a copy I had, but there was a driver conflict error. I think the copy to which you linked would result in the same. I tried to reinstall Windows, and now, during the boot process, the system spontaneously restarts. 🙁

I've been fighting to get my PrintTok2 text compression programs working, and, while I got them working a few times, the compression ratio was totally horrible: far worse than Deflate. :( The problem must be with my version of Tokenization, as I'm getting too few tokens, and everything I did to gain …

I have 7Zip. Apparently, I need to set a file association. :) BTW, I also want to mount an .iso file as a virtual CD. I believe I may have other software on the computer that can do the job, but as I mentioned, the computer broke badly. I don't want to reinstall Windows again , so I'm looking for …

Umm...yes. The system was running into Exception oE errors, and I tried to reinstall Windows. In the end, it helped only slightly: the error appeared less often. Unfortunately, I'm now getting a VFAT Device Initialization Failed error. :( First, I was wondering why DOS applications stopped running …

I found a version on one of my flash drives while transferring files to it, but, when I tried to install it, it said there's a driver conflict. I was using the defaults for these options. Apparently, it was already installed. However, when I right-click an .iso file, the only useful option was Open …

You're right, but I believe I still have it on my computer. It's busy compressing a Zip disk right now, so I'd better wait.

I believe I have a program that mount .iso files on my Win98SE tower but that it broke upon my last reinstall of Windows. I'm looking for a name and, if necessary, an URL of such so I can find or reinstall it.
