Did you check the memory with the command mem /c|more to see which drivers are loaded. I wouldn't wonder if himem.sys was still there... or do you boot the "previous operating system" (or how it's called in english)? On the other hand, if himen.sys was in memory, Fritz3 would not be able to run in x-mode (for 16 MB hash). If it has trouble loading the book, this is a memory problem too. When I run F3, I use the SHIFT-F5 method and have the following batch file for the rest (a bit complicated, as I can choose to start it either with or without TascBoard support): @ECHO OFF PROMPT $p$g SET LMOUSE=C:\MOUSE SET DIRCMD=/P /O:EN LH C:\MOUSE\MOUSE.EXE cls c: cd \schach\fritz3 echo. echo Bitte auswählen: echo ---------------- echo F Fritz3 OHNE SmartBoard echo T Fritz3 MIT SmartBoard echo. choice /C:FT /T:T,5 if errorlevel 2 LH tascdrv /x if errorlevel 1 LH fritz3 /x You see that the batch does nothing special, except that little menu. But this is important, because with the SmartBoard driver, I cannot have x-mode + book due to the memory restrictions. I have to configure with EMM386 in this case, and LH (=loadhigh) comes into effect ...probably. DOS users... lost souls in a world of oblivion. Regards, M.Scheidl
