Many thanks to whoever it was that reported his problems with Xvesa not working with MS DOS 6.22 were due to his having loaded himem.sys and smartdrv.exe.
I did not know about the smartdrv, since I don't run DOS without himem.sys (my DOS programs need it) so I bypass system files on DOS computers.
Apparently Win98 himem.sys does not cause problems. I was wondering why one of my three Win98 computers would not work with Xvesa. I just realized it has smartdrv. Loading smartdrv on the other Win98 computer just stopped Xvesa from working. I can manage without it on the DOS computer (which also has Win98 until I get Realplayer to work there).
Summary:
MS-DOS 6.22 - both himem.sys and smartdrv.exe cause problems
Win98SE DOS -only smartdrv causes problems
DR-DOS -neither causes problems but it formats drives and labels them wrong (hda2 = E, hda3 = D).
FreeDOS - can someone report whether himem.sys or smartdrv.exe cause Xvesa problems (black screen crash).
I think MS-DOS 5.0 and 3.3 himem.sys worked with Xvesa but am not sure. No idea about smartdrv.
