Lines: 21 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? Nick Solntseff (416) 525-9140 xtn 3443 ns@maccs.mcmaster.ca
