HIt says "Program too big to fit in memory.&q

[Anonymous]

  ;Hey!   First time here. I just have a problem wtih MS-DOS. Well, my friend downloaded a game off the internet call Sims Superstar   and he called me for help to work the program.  :-/ You have to open it in DOS. I click on it and a black window comes up and it shows the message Program to big to fit in memory for a split second.  :-/ :-/ I click on it some more and it still displays the same message. Is there a way to open the program with another way except for DOS?   Maybe you can help me edit some info to work the program. Thanks!

Try upgrading your memor, or using the keyboard interface instead of mouse interface.

I have no idea about this, but try using extended memory, or run emm386.exe

The following should be part of your Config.SYS file:

device=c:\windows\himem.sys
dos=high, umb
device=c:\windows\emm386.exe noems

files=65
buffers=64
stacks=9,256
fcbs=10,6

lastdrive=z

devicehigh=c:\windows\setver.exe
devicehigh=c:\cdrom\oakcdrom.sys /d:mscd001

(I'm assuming your CDROM driver is in a directory called CDROM on C: root, use the directory you have it in and the appropriate driver name.)

In your Autoexec.BAT, the resident drivers should be preceded by LH:

@echo off
path ;
c:\antivir\antivir.exe /dosscan /autofix
LH c:\cdrom\mscdex.exe /d:mscd001 /m:12
LH c:\audio\au3drv.exe /parameters
LH c:\tablet\tabletdvr.exe
LH c:\speech\speechcard.exe
path c:\windows;c:\windows\command;c:\;c:\antivir;c:\speech;
prompt $p$g
set temp=c:\windows\temp
ver

These are SAMPLE files, put your appropriate drivers and the like in. An antivirus 'boot scan' pass is not resident; resident programs are loaded into Upper Memory with this layout and DOS is loaded into both High Memory and Upper Memory to leave plenty open for your apps. The bootup is based on DOS 7 in Win9x, if you are using earlier Windows you have a directory C:\DOS vice C:\Windows\Command.
