Hi, I wrote ago about some hardware conflicts with the new 32 Meg IC Dram Card I got for my TP 755CD. I have the Pentium model which uses non-parity memory. The manufacturer sent me a new card with parity and now I have no conflicts anymore. However I still have a problem which I believe is software related... My system is a Linux/PCdos 7.0/win3.1 configuration. Linux sees all the memory just fine (X runs REALLY fast now) but windows does not. 1) If I boot into DOS and type MEM, it show I have ~38 Megs XMS memory free. 2) If I type MSD, It says I have 640k conventional ~25 to 27 Megs of NEGATIVE XMS and extended memory. 3) I then run windows. when I check my system resources I (using dashboard or msinfo) it says that I have 40 Megs of Ram free but my RESOURCES are the same as when I only had 8Megs of RAM. 4) So I see how many programs I can open, and sure enough, I hit an out off memory error after about 6 or 7 major applications. I don't think it's a bios problem because I can see all 40 Megs of RAM using easy setup. I aslo ran the diagnostics in easy setup and all the hardware passed. What do I do!? Is there some way to set memory parameters in dos so that win3.1 will use all the memory? Thanks in advance, -Mike
