Has anyone experienced the following problem?

Microsoft Windows 2.03 does not recognize the expanded memory (allegedly, LIM
specification compatible) provided by the PB-220 card configured to represent
1.5 MBytes of expanded (LIM-compatible) memory.  Packard Bell diagnostics
say that I have the proper amount of expanded memory, whereas

     MS Windows "About MSDOS" output does not mention any expanded memory
     is present.

I have asked the dealer to question Packard Bell about this.  Microsoft
Canada has said that it is probably PB's fault.

All books I have on MS Windows programming are silent about the use of
expanded memory.

Any suggestions?
