I just purchased a 32MB Upgrade for my TP755CD and some strange things have been happening. When I turned the computer on, the memory checked OK (40576 bytes or something like that). Then PC DOS seems to boot fine. when I start win3.1, the splash screen comes up, goes away and then the hourglass shows up. a second or two later I hear an audible "pop" from my speakers (I assume the mwave initializing or something) and then the computer freezes. I can't CTL+ALT+DEL or even turn the computer off with the power switch. I have to pull the battery! I ran MSD and it reports that I have NEGATIVE XMS and EMS memory... I didn't know it was possible to have negative memory =( I then booted into Linux and Linux seemed very happy with everything. Next I started the computer bringing up easy setup. I checked the RAM and it tested OK, I checkded the system board and it checked OK. But when I checked the Mwave, I got an error. Perhaps my problem is an mwave problem? If I remove the DRAM card and just use the standard built in 8Megs, I can run windows just fine. I don't mind using Linux only, but I need windows for certain applications. I thought my problem might be that the company sent me the wrong memory. The Package said: TP755CX P-75 32 Megs ... I just assumed that they use the same memory. Please help.... -Mike
