I'm not sure if Win31 works with HimemX. Better use the Himem.sys driver that ships with DOS 6.22 or Win31 ( these are v2 drivers, limited to 64 MB ).

My test - today - was:

- boot MS-DOS 6.22 with MS Himem.sys
- load jemm386: JEMM386 LOAD
- unload jemm386: JEMM386 UNLOAD
- launch Windows ( WfW 3.11 )

and the Windows Desktop appeared without problems.

( tested on a AMD-K2 500 MHz, 320 MB SDRAM-DIMMs, 3D Rage Pro AGP, 1080 MB Quantum Fireball HD; MB chipset supports USB 1.1 )

MS-DOS forever!
