This article was previously published under Q74536 SYMPTOMS
Running RBase version 3.1 from Microsoft Windows version 3.0 enhanced
mode with EMM386.EXE loaded in the CONFIG.SYS file using the NOEMS
switch may produce a "Fatal Error..." message.
CAUSE
This error can occur if the program information file (PIF) used to run
RBase 3.1 contains any non-zero value in the EMS KB Limit field of the
Advanced PIF properties dialog box.
WORKAROUND
Set both the EMS KB Required and KB Limit fields to 0 (zero) to allow
RBase 3.1 to function properly.
Setting both EMS fields to 0 forces RBase 3.1 to make use of XMS
extended memory instead of EMS memory.
Rbase is manufactured by Microrim, a vendor independent of Microsoft;
we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's
performance or reliability.
