I wonder if you somehow have a corrupted .iso download. Did you verify the md5sum? Also, what speed did you burn the CD-R? Slower (4x?) is presumably better. Even once burned, what is the md5sum of the HIMEMX.EXE file? Sure, it's possible that your machine somehow doesn't like HIMEMX (which seems strange). Who knows, it could be some subtle incompatibility due to BIOS (maybe?? turn off "Legacy USB"??). Or you may wish to try a different version (e.g. 3.32) just for comparison (or maybe even alternate drivers like FDXMS or XMGR). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user --- Internet Rex 2.29 * Origin: capcity2.synchro.net - 502/875-8938 (1:2320/105.99) --- * BgNet 1.0b12 = CCO * KY/US * 502/875-8938 * capcity2.synchro.net --- Synchronet 3.15a-Linux ListGate 1.3 * Capitol City Online - Frankfort, KY - telnet://capitolcityonline.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
