JZig's guide to freeing conventional memory.

NOTE NOTE: BACK UP CONFIG.SYS AND AUTOEXEC.BAT RIGHT NOW
|
|
|
|
The first thing you need to do is back up your config.sys and autoexec.bat
|
|
in your root directory. Next, take a look at these files. First, autoexec.
|
|
If you see anything mentioning mscdex, delete that line. Also, delete any
|
|
line that mentions load, loadhigh, or is a command, that does not appear to
|
|
be important. Remember, you backed up the files so if something goes wrong
|
|
you can start over. Copy the lines you removed to c:\windows\dosstart.bat,
|
|
this file is runwhen you select shut down to dos on the shutdown window.
|
|
|
|
Now, on to config.sys. Do the same thing, remove anything that doesn't look
|
|
important. Leave mentions of emm386 and himem in. Okay, now reset your
|
|
computer. Hopefully, it should work fine, and you should have more memory.
|
|
if it doesn't, figure out what doesn't work and add the line related to that
|
|
device back to config.sys or autoexec.bat. Okay, good luck, and stop
|
|
complaining about not having enough memory.
