I only tried that because you suggested it.

FASM for DOS reports lots more MB free after running HXNTVDM, and it does assemble something correctly (although I don't have any programs that need > 32 MB to reassemble, so it may be a red herring, may only report that much free and still not allow it, but at least FASM runs). And HXNTVDM doesn't unload after running FASM either.

You mean .ASM for HXNTVDM? I actually don't, and a quick search doesn't find it in HXDEV.ZIP either.

It came with the cpu, and I doubt there'd be comparable drivers for XP (assuming I could legally downgrade anyways).
