6.2 Using SMARTDrive with Double Buffering Most expanded-memory emulators attempt to optimize SMARTDrive by configuring it to load into upper memory blocks (UMBs). This will cause problems if you are running Windows in 386 enhanced mode with double buffering. If you need to use double buffering with SMARTDrive, make sure that SMARTDrive is configured in the CONFIG.SYS file to load into low memory. The command line should look like this: device=smartdrv.exe /double_buffer This problem applies only to the smartdrv command line in the CONFIG.SYS file. It does not apply to the references to SMARTDrive in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. For more information about using double buffering with SMARTDrive, see Chapter 14, "Optimizing Windows," in the Microsoft Windows User's Guide. .
