Your conventional memory must be full. Find the file HIMEM.SYS and copy it to your disk. Then add this line to the top of your CONFIG.SYS:

Code: Select all

DEVICE=HIMEM.SYS
Then in CONFIG.SYS, change all the rest of the lines that have DEVICE= to DEVICEHIGH=
I think that should fix it.

Thankyou for trying, but that did not seem to work either. Anything else i could do?

BTW it says "Configuration to large for memory"

As long as HIMEM.sys is on the floppy, it should work... :?

Did you put

Code: Select all

DOS=HIGH
in your (I think) config.sys file, too? That will force DOS to run in expanded memory.
