I started getting the above error message when running DOS/Windows
and trying to run a DOS box in any way. I can do this same
operation in WIN31 under OS/2 and things work fine. (so this problem
is mainly an inconvience right now).
IBM said that there is an interaction between the video driver and
the dual boot code that can cause problems like this. I've got
a separate tracking number on this problem, and, allegedly, a video
specialist is going to call me back. This seems odd because superficially,
there isn't a video problem. It seems like a windows configuration
problem caused by the schizophrenic existence of windows over DOS
or OS/2, and the resultant overuse of configuration information
in the INI files.
Incidently, I've examined System.ini, win.ini, config.sys, autoexec,
the setver system, the windows swap file, my disk free space, the
windows % resources free, running in standard and enhanced modes, every
contortion of the .pif files for the DOS box, the mem/c contents,
and I've used my resident gurus and ibm support without figuring it out.
Any ideas (short of re-installing windows or re-formatting my hard disk)
are welcome. After a bit, I will re-install windows if all else fails.
