Has anyone else had problems using Xvesa with himem.sys from Win98SE?
It is working fine on two other Win98 computers, one of which is Win98FE
and the other is SE.

I thought only MS DOS 6.22 himem.sys caused problems.
Works okay with MS DOS 5 and DR-DOS 7.03.

Would a different video card possibly help? Maybe it uses some of the
same RAM as himem.sys? I tried this Virge with DR-DOS where it worked
with Xvesa, but not with Win98 DOS.

Has anyone successfully used the S3 Virge with Win98SE and Xvesa?
