Options 1 and 2 are with EMM386. Try replacing EMM386 EXE and use the updated JEMM386 EXE from www.japheth.de - that might be more compatible to your Bochs. Do also read the docs - if you find that you need specific command line options to make JEMM386 behave right, please let us know which ones you needed. > However I want to load Turbo C++ 3.0 IDE aswell. > None of the options 1, 2, 3 were able to load Turbo C++ > 3.0 IDE.

It expects DOS to give it 0.2 MB (the part after the decimal point) and a DOS extender to give it 1 MB more. FreeDOS 1.0 simply reasoned "you do not have 1.2 MB free in your 640 kB of DOS memory, so the IDE cannot run". However, there is a simple fix for this: Please use the KERNEL SYS of a newer version, for example http://rugxulo.googlepages.com/ instead of your normal kernel sys (in the root directory). Newer versions are aware of the exotic style of the TC3 IDE and can run it without problems :-). Eric PS: The TC3 IDE issue is also explained in more detail in our bugzilla database, see the "bugs" link on our homepage. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
