Q82483

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows versions 3.1, 3.11

-

SYMPTOMS
If you run Lotus 1-2-3 release 3.1 in standard mode with a limulator installed, Lotus fails with the message:

Virtual Machine (VM) error 19

It may be necessary to clear the &quot;Close Windows on Exit&quot; check box in the program information file (PIF) to see this message.

CAUSE
Applications that include their own MS-DOS extenders often have problems running with Microsoft Windows version 3.1 in standard mode with a limulator. Lotus 1-2-3 version 3.1 is such an application.

An MS-DOS extender allows applications to access more than one megabyte (MB) of memory on IBM-compatible machines.

On example of a limulator is EMM386.EXE included with Windows 3.1.

RESOLUTION
To properly run applications that have their own MS-DOS extenders, do one of the following:


 * Remove the limulator.

-or-
 * Run the application in enhanced mode.
