22860 2001-10-28 22:33:00 The MS Dos prompt from within windows gives an error message that there is insufficient memory to run this program,I have no other programs running with plenty of memory available.If I remove the soundcard MS Dos runs fine.I have an Athlon 1400 with 768 mb ram running Windows 98se and a Soundblaster Live soundcard installed.
Any help would be great
Thanks

You may find that you have a lot running in the sysem tray that is hogging the memory (remember that DOS works in the first 1Mb. Try shutting ONE of those down, or alternatively try a DOS window session IMMEDIATELY after boot up. If it runs then OK, then you need a little program to free up some RAM (something like Freemem).
