| 248881 | 2004-07-01 06:22:00 | I have a 33mhz computer with windows 3.11 on it. I have recently installed a network card into it to hook it up to my hub. 1) i installed the driver for the card, that was all good 2) installed TCP 3.11B, that was all good 3) restarted - and logged on - hub recognized the connection - but i couldnt do anything because sharing wasn't enabled. Thus i enabled this, restarted and now the thing tells me it doesnt have enough extended memory to load windows!! (it can load DOS, of course) 4) i have 20MB ram on it which *should* be enough. Anyone know how i can tell it to use less memory or anything? |

| 248884 | 2004-07-01 07:57:00 | Do you have the extended memory manager loaded (himem . sys)? Make sure you have this line in your CONFIG . SYS: DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM . SYS <or path as required for your system> |

| 248887 | 2004-07-01 08:45:00 | Back in the medieval period it all revolved around keeping enough space in the 1st 640K. Is there something starting at bootup that you can "load high" | PaulD (232) | ||
| 248888 | 2004-07-01 08:57:00 | this takes me back and if memory serves go to a command prompt type in "Mem /?" that hope will give you some options then follow your nose from there should tell how your memory is optimized and may allow you to run the dos memory optimizer This (www.google.co.nz) google search may help also |

| 248889 | 2004-07-01 08:59:00 | there are quite alot of things loading at DOS startup? should i tell them to load high? | agent_24 (4330) | ||
| 248890 | 2004-07-01 09:06:00 | Please post the contents of your config.sys file and your autoexec.bat file. Both of these will probably be located in the root directory of drive C: |
