Well, dang. First the sound card problems, and now this. I didn't know about this issue, as my low memory had only ~550 KB of free space (strangely even with a "clean" autoexec/config, with DOS=HIGH,UMB and devicehigh's used), which wasn't enough for several DOS games (as a reminder - using Windows 98 ).
So I installed QEMM 97, let it handle things with Optimize command and after several reboots eveything seemed to work like a charm - 614 KB of conventional memory free, looked fine and dandy. Well, expect not.
I tried to run several DOS games (Ultima Underworld, Monster Bash, Bolz etc.). I was happy at first, as every single one of them ran without any problems. However also evey one of them hard crashed the computer, mostly during loading sequences. (UU during dungeon entering, Monster Bash and Bolz during level load, Construction Bob during next batch of levels etc.) Same thing occurs when running the game in both MS-DOS mode reboot and Windows 98.
Could it be the QEMM's doing?
