- I have just installed demacs 1.20 and when I run it I get the following

- CPU must be in real mode (not V*^ mode) to run this program.

- Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

- Thanks, Bill C.

- Hi Bill,
-
- Were you by any chance running DEMACS from a Windows DOS shell? I've
- run into that problem myself. It seems that you can't run DEMACS when
- Windows is up and running. In other words, I can only run DEMACS from
- DOS.
-
- Another problem I found was that there is some sort of conflict with
- the expanded memory manager. It would take DEMACS well over a minute
- to come up and even then it didn't operate properly. I poked around
- in CONFIG.SYS until I found that EMM386.EXE was the culprit. I now
- have the following line in my CONFIG.SYS:
-
- device=emm386.exe off
-
- This seems to eliminate the problem. DEMACS now loads in about 5
- seconds (on a 386, 33MHz) and operates mostly as expected (except for
- setting the mark and binding the keypad keys). When you require
- expanded memory, you can execute the following from the DOS prompt:
-
- emm386.exe on
-
- There's a lot I don't understand about expanded memory, so this may
- not be the optimal or even a good solution. Could someone in the know
- comment about this? Thanks.
