I am getting the following error on my win98 se machine. "emm386 not installed. Insufficient memory". What do I need to do to fix this please? TIA
here they are DEVICE=C:\ESSAUDIO.SYS DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS DOS=HIGH,UMB,AUTO FILESHIGH=80 BUFFERSHIGH=40,4 DEVICEHIGH=C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\CPQIDECD.SYS /D:IDECD001 SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM /P /E:2048 Autoexec.bat is the following: C:\PROGRA~1\GRISOFT\AVGFRE~1\BOOTUP.EXE @ECHO OFF C:\ESSAUDIO.COM SET Path=%Path%;"C:\Program Files\Executive Software\DiskeeperLite\" Set tvdumpflags=10 still getting error. Now what do I do please? TIA
Try: DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS DOS=HIGH,UMB,AUTO DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS FILESHIGH=80 BUFFERSHIGH=40,4 DEVICEHIGH=C:\ESSAUDIO.SYS DEVICEHIGH=C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\CPQIDECD.SYS /D:IDECD001 SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM /P /E:2048 HIMEM.SYS should be on 1st line.
i tried something like the above execpt DEVICEHIGH=C:\ESSAUDIO.SYS was the 1st line. DEVICE=C:\ESSAUDIO.SYS DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS DOS=HIGH,UMB,AUTO DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS FILESHIGH=80 BUFFERSHIGH=40,4 DEVICEHIGH=C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\CPQIDECD.SYS /D:IDECD001 SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM /P /E:2048 So what you want me to try, would it make a difference since that didn't?
I tried that and I tried various options but nothing is working. I didn't put the shell command there, the system did. I did move DEVICE=C:\ESSAUDIO.SYS to the 3rd line save, exited. shutdown my computer and started it up and i didn't get the error. I then rebooted again and that's when I got the error again. When system was back up i looked at the file again it was at the top without me putting it there. That is what I am questioning about. What would cause that?
