SYMPTOMS
========
You try to use QRAM.SYS with Windows 3.0 on a 386 machine and the following
error message is displayed:
Extended memory manager already present
CAUSE
=====
The entries in your CONFIG.SYS file are in the wrong order.
RESOLUTION
==========
To correct the problem, place HIMEM.SYS before QRAM.SYS in the CONFIG.SYS file.
HIMEM.SYS mistakes QRAM.SYS for an extended memory manager.
MORE INFORMATION

Quarterdeck's QRAM program is an expanded memory manager for 286-based
machines.
