Bill, it didn't work
I tried what you said and it didn't work. I still get
the message that windows can't be installed because there is not enough extended memory. Any other suggestions? |

That message is usually "not enough conventional memory". But try this anyway: When you boot with the Win98 Startup diskette and change to the CDrom drive enter: Setup /IM (that's an eye) That should skip the check for low conventional memory that Setup uses to de-compress files. Also after booting with the floppy enter: MEM /C Does the memory look ok? Regards, Bill Watt Computer Help and Information http://home.epix.net/~bwatt/ |

Whenever I tried this I only got "Bad command or file name." The message I keep getting is: "The windows 98 startup disk could not create a temporary drive for the diagnostic tools. This may be because this computer has less than the minimum required extended memory. Path not found - :\COMMAND.COM Path not found - :\EXTRACT.EXE Path not found - :\README.TXT bad command or file name The diagnostic tools were successfully loaded to drive. File not found." None of the suggestions I have tried worked. Can you help? |

None of the suggestions I have tried worked. Can you help? Can you boot to Dos without the Startup diskette? If you can then enter MEM /C from Dos, does it show ALL your memory?
