I have a license and have used this. I see it as a wonder you've gotten
this far.
Cheers,

I have a retail box copy of DESQview version 2.42 with all the<br>
accompanying manuals. In the error messages appendix says the<br>
following about this error:<br>
<br>
"The DESQview command you performed tried to read the indicated<br>
DESQview file, but couldn't."<br>
<br>
"If you decide the indicated file is bad, delete it and then reinstall<br>
DESQview. There is no harm in reinstalling DESQview over the same<br>
version of an existing system."<br>
<br>
In addition, it says:<br>
<br>
"Sometimes, loading memory-resident programs prior to starting up<br>
DESQview, or allocating too few DOS file handles (by the FILES command<br>
in your CONFIG.SYS file), can cause this error. Also, if DESQview<br>
cannot find the .DVO (Open Window Menu) file this message will appear<br>
as a Startup Message."<br>
<br>
On an installation of this program that I have on an old computer, the<br>
DESQVIEW.DVO file is 249 bytes. You are correct that QEMM is not<br>
required (at least for the version I have) because I am running<br>
DESQview 386 using MS HIMEM.SYS and EMM386.EXE without problems. This<br>
is because some IBM drivers I have for this old computer would not<br>
work with QEMM.<br>
<br>
I don't know if this is of any help, but it's all I know about the<br>
problem. Good luck.<br>
