QEMM QuickBoot May Cause Computer to Hang (127915)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows 98
  • Microsoft Windows 95
This article was previously published under Q127915

SYMPTOMS

When you boot your computer in MS-DOS mode (either from the Shut Down Windows dialog box or from the properties for an MS-DOS-based application) with Quarterdeck's QEMM, the computer may stop responding (hang). When this occurs, you must turn the computer off and back on to resume normal functioning.

CAUSE

The QEMM QuickBoot feature does not operate correctly in Windows.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, disable the QuickBoot feature. To disable QuickBoot, add the parameter "BOOTENABLE:N" to the QEMM386.SYS line in the CONFIG.SYS file. For example, after you add this parameter the line might look like: 
   DEVICE=<path>\QEMM386.SYS BOOTENABLE:N
