Hi,

If you're out of conventional memory (as I suugested is the case), you can try to do that:

At the top of your Config.sys file add the lines:

Dos=High,Umb
Device=C:\Dos\Himem.sys
Device=C:\Dos\Emm386.exe Ram M3

All other DEVICE statements in Config.sys replace with DEVICEHIGH. (Instead of C:\DOS\ directory you need to use the actual directory when the Himem.sys and Emm386.exe files are located.)

Then in Autoexec.bat files before any executable program add LH with trailing space. For example:

Lh Mouse.com

Good luck, Igor M
