Windows 3.0 Enhanced Mode Hangs on a Toshiba 5200

• Microsoft Windows 3.0

SYMPTOMS

On a Toshiba 5200, Microsoft Windows version 3.0 Setup for a standard VGA may run in real mode and standard mode, but it stops responding (hangs) in enhanced mode.

RESOLUTION

Setting EMMEXCLUDE=C000-C7FF in the [386Enh] section of the SYSTEM.INI file enables Windows to run in enhanced mode.

This line is automatically added to the SYSTEM.INI file if you choose "Toshiba 5200" during the initial SETUP or using the maintenance SETUP or Windows SETUP icon after having installed Windows. This may be easier than manually editing the SYSTEM.INI.

NOTE: The EMMEXCLUDE statement may solve memory address conflicts on the Toshiba 5200, but removal of TSRs and standard troubleshooting should still be performed.
