I only asked because of the way you phrased your initial post. I,
personally, ran a multi-boot machine with 2GB of RAM and Win98 with no
problems, including getting into Safe Mode, but it doesn't surprise me that
others have problems.

Hi again Gary, Letterman & Buffalo!

No speculation, it's a fact! Thanks to the other guys... I'll try taking
out a module to see if that's enough. I would have done that first if
there
was no other way but was reluctant to do so since they're hellish
difficult
to get back in on an MSI.

Have you tried booting into Safe Mode, or are you just speculating?

Hi again Guys!

Since my last post I've upgraded my mobo to an MSI and have 2x1 GB RAM
modules installed. I quickly learned that Win98 grunts at anything over
1GB
and ideally likes 512MB. However making an adjustment to the System.ini
file
as per MS KB article there's no problem with booting normally. However,
if
I
wanted/had to boot into Safe Mode, then of course the startup files,
presumably including the system.ini, are by-passed resulting in "not
enough
memory to initialize windows".

Is there a work-around to this or have I lost this important bit of
functionality? The only other alternative as I see it if something goes
wrong
is to then rely on Scanreg /restore.

Cheers,

Sandy.
