1304: cannot use XMS host with current memory manager configuration
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This message indicates that the DOS extender cannot switch to protected mode
due to the configuration of 386 memory management software.
When a 386 memory manager is present, the DOS extender is not permitted to
use its own mode switching routines to enter and leave protected mode.
Instead, it must use either VCPI or DPMI mode switching services provided by
the memory manager software.
This message indicates that a 386 memory manager (or similar) is running on
the system, but there are no DPMI or VCPI services available to the extender
(or the extender has been configured not to use those services through the
link time commands, or through the BLINKER environment variable).
Solutions:
If possible, configure the memory manager to provide VCPI services (hint:
enabling EMS memory will usually also enable VCPI).
If possible, configure the memory manager to provide DPMI services Ensure
the extender's use of VCPI or DPMI has not been disabled by link time
commands (eg: BLINKER HOST VCPI OFF), or by runtime switches contained in
the BLINKER environment variable.
Very old memory managers may not be able to provide VCPI services such
memory manager may need to be removed before the Blinker extender can
operate.
