insufficen memory, error message

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

What can I do to make at least 620k of conventional (lower) memory available
in Windows XP? After booting up there is presently 598k of memory available.
I want to run an old DOS program that is a lower memory hog.

Mark, Thank you for the reply. I am trying to laod everything high as Windows
XP boots up. I have tried loading high in the config.sys file but it has no
effect on the booting up by XP.

Thanks again

Jim

Maurice, I have tried editing the files but still have no luck. Would it be
possible for you to e-mail your files to me? Please include the correct path
and I will simply copy them into my laptop computer.

Maurice, I finally got it right. Thanks for your help. I could not have done
it without your help.
