SYMPTOMS
When loading certain programs, the GoldStar 386SX Model GT316 stops
responding (locks up or hangs) if EMM386.EXE is also loaded,
regardless of the EMM386.EXE switch settings.
RESOLUTION
Goldstar technical support states that adding NOMOVEXBDA to
EMM386.EXE resolves the problem.
MORE INFORMATION
EMM386.EXE provides expanded memory (EMS) emulation and upper memory block
(UMB) management.
When EMM386.EXE is used on a GoldStar 386SX Model GT316, certain programs
cause the system to lock up. The system locks up when EMM386.EXE is loaded.
This will happen regardless of exclude statements (X=nnnn-nnnn) and
regardless of what services are being performed (NOEMS, RAM, and no
switches).
HIMEM.SYS machine switches also do not seem to have any effect.
This information also applies to the GoldStar GF318 Plus and the GoldStar
GS335.
