How did you ensure that TT-RAM was completely unallocated when starting
FIX24? Please see the notes in my previous posting: FIX24 usually has to
be run (as first program) from the AUTO folder. Otherwise some TT-RAM may
already have been allocated, and then it's too late to disable 32 bit
addressing, because running programs are already using it.
Please also check the startup message of FIX24, which reports if TT-RAM
is already in use.

Correct, drives do not matter here.

Please see above, run FIX24 as first program in the AUTO folder.
