Short of memory for DOS programs
I do not have enough free memory for running a DOS program
I need about 512k of free memory Any ideas how to increase this? Memory Type Total Used Free ---------------- -------- -------- -------- Conventional 532K 81K 451K Upper 0K 0K 0K Reserved 0K 0K 0K Extended (XMS) 65,472K ? 129,612K ---------------- -------- -------- -------- Total memory 66,004K ? 130,063K Total under 1 MB 532K 81K 451K Total Expanded (EMS) 64M (67,108,864 bytes) Free Expanded (EMS) 16M (16,777,216 bytes) Largest executable program size 451K (461,968 bytes) Largest free upper memory block 0K (0 bytes) MS-DOS is resident in the high memory area.

Short of memory for DOS programs
Still having problems with memory
After changes to config.sys and autoexec.bat to load everything possible into upper memory I now have 498k free conventional memory. One interesting fact is that loading command prompt only gives 640k Conventional memory, while a normal boot to windows results in only 532k Conventional. Any ideas?

Use
MEM/C |MORE or MEM/D |MORE to see what's using the memory. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (DTS) "JP" wrote in message ...

Makes one think of a virus.
