Yes - but: L3D shows a proper error message, while Jazz is just pagefaulting or GPFing. It did not do that before and actually Jazz does not need EMS at all (while L3D does). > Stargunner is one of a couple DOS4GW applications always tested prior to > release, so you can safely assume if there's an EMM386 release, Stargunner > works here. Might be one of the other drivers which are in default autoexec / config of the current iso then - but it only triggers crashes in combination with emm386. And no, xdma is no longer on by default. > But I'm not sure why you're using 2.11, anyway. It's at least a couple of > iterations back... Argh. I said 2.11 while I meant 2.21 of course... You also have to replace 2.10 by 2.20 in my previous mail to get things right. Eric ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
