Windows and Quarterdeck QEMM386 Require WINHIRAM.VXD File (92904)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 3.0
- Microsoft Windows 3.1
- Microsoft Windows 3.11
This article was previously published under Q92904 SYMPTOMS
If you use the Quarterdeck QEMM386 memory manager with Windows, you may
receive the following error when you try to start Windows in 386 enhanced
mode:
CANNOT FIND A DEVICE FILE THAT MAY BE NEEDED TO RUN WINDOWS IN
386 ENHANCED MODE
YOU NEED TO RUN SETUP AGAIN.
C:\WINHIRAM.VXD
PRESS ANY KEY TO CONTINUE
CAUSE
This error message is displayed because QEMM386 and Windows require
the WINHIRAM.VXD file to transfer memory control when Windows loads.
MORE INFORMATION
The WINHIRAM.VXD file is copied to the QEMM directory when you install
QEMM386. The above error normally occurs when the QEMM386.SYS file is
moved to another subdirectory without the WINHIRAM.VXD file. To
correct this problem, copy the WINHIRAM.VXD file to the same
subdirectory as the QEMM386.SYS file. If this does not correct the
problem, try adding the subdirectory that contains these files to the
MS-DOS path.
