Hi Mike, 
 
I'm beginning to think that it's something to do with the display driver (SciTech driver here - which works great on the desktop).   
 
Both EXCEL and ACCESS load and work, however MSPUB (another graphic program) fails the same way. 
 
I've always used EMS=0, and set XMS to max 16M, and DPMI lower than the 64M although I don't know what effect it has - if any. 
 
I just got done setting the video modes from VGA to up to 1600x1200 and still nothing in any of them.  I do like the 1280x1024 screen   
size though! 
 
Thanks for the input. 
 
Still perplexed... 
 
JIM

| It's been a while since I set those up, and Corel 4 never did run properly 
| for me.  You have to change the Win 16 session properties.  Among others, 
| I believe that I set DPMI memory to 64 and both EMS and XMS memory to 0.  
| Perhaps looking at the rest of them will remind you of what you did to get 
| it to work originally.
