Title: XMS error in command
Post by: Jota on February 13, 2011, 11:32:18 AM

Hello, I use Win XP SP2 installed over Win 98 SE.

When I run command I get this error (translation):
ERROR: there is an extended memory manager already installed. XMS controlled is not installed.

I checked autoexec.nt and config.nt and look ok.

What can I do?.

Thanks

This is when you try to run command.com? Is there some special reason why you don't want to run cmd.exe (The windows NT family command prompt - NT family being Windows NT, 2000, XP, Vista, 7)?

Try this: open Windows Explorer and navigate to the C:\Windows folder, highlight command.com, and right-click to bring up the properties. Choose compatibility mode and choose Win98.

Thanks Salmon Trout


I can´t change compatibility mode of
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\command.com

If I run cmd.exe instead tu use the soft I need I get this error:
C:\bookmaker5\en>mjbookmaker.exe -make doc.cfg
mjBookMaker 5.0.7 (free version)
