installation error
I am attempting to build a win 98 computer to run all of my old games which
will not work under win xp compatibility mode. everything was going ok and then i got an error message. it shut down and when i restarted it, it said "quit one or more memory-resident programs or remove unnecessary utilities from your config.sys and autoexec.bat files and restart your computer". i am using a mobo that i had been using with winxp. the mobo is lga775, 2gigs of ddr2-533 ram, 40 gig sata 2 hdd which was partitioned into a 30 gig and 8 gig partitions, and an nvidia 7800gs agp video card. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

Too much ram--cut back to 1 gb and then see if the following helps.
Here's some info on ram you might find helpful: Over 512 mb or more of ram: "Out of Memory" Errors with Large Amounts of RAM Installed [Q253912] http://support.microsoft.com/default...;EN-US;Q253912 This article contains instructions which basically say: add this line in system.ini, under [vcache]: MaxFileCache=512000 *************************** 1 gb or more of ram: Error Message: Insufficient Memory to Initialize Windows [Q184447] http://support.microsoft.com/default...;EN-US;Q184447 *************************** 1.5 gb or more of ram: Computer May Reboot Continuously with More Than 1.5 GB of RAM [Q304943] http://support.microsoft.com/default...;EN-US;Q304943 -- Regards Ron Badour MS MVP Windows Desktop Experience "theclyburns" wrote in message ...

Yeah thanks, I finally figured out part of the problem which is that but I'm
still having problems getting it installed. I pulled the 533 and put in ddr400 because my mobo can use either but while it is getting further into the install it's freezing up when it gets to the hardware and plug and play configuration. If you got any thoughts on that one I'd love to hear them. Thanks again for the help "Ron Badour" wrote: Too much ram--cut back to 1 gb and then see if the following helps.

Thanks, I'll give that a try. I'm about ready to give up on it as a lost
cause. Hopefully the info there will help fix the problem.
