The information in this article applies to:

This article was previously published under Q66962 SYMPTOMS
To run Microsoft Windows version 3.0 in 386 enhanced mode on a Dell
316LT, 316SX, or 320LT laptop computer, the following EMMExclude lines
under the [386ENH] section of the SYSTEM.INI file are required:
EMMExclude = E000 - EFFF
EMMExclude = C000 - C7FF
MORE INFORMATION
These high-memory page segments are used for extended video RAM and
RAM BIOS shadowing. However, the segments may appear to be free when
Windows starts in 386 enhanced mode. Windows may attempt to use these
memory segments while operating, which will corrupt the video RAM or
the BIOS shadowing. This may cause UAEs, crashing, or lock-ups of the
I/O devices (keyboard, mouse, and so on).
