SYMPTOMS
========
If you have a device= statement for SMARTDRV.EXE in your CONFIG.SYS file, but
you are not using the /DOUBLE_BUFFER switch, MemMaker may change the device=
statement to devicehigh=. If so, you receive the following error message:
Double-buffering driver cannot be loaded into a UMB. Do not use the
devicehigh command or other load-high utilities to load Smartdrv.exe
CAUSE
=====
MemMaker recognizes and ignores the device= statement for SMARTDRV.EXE only if
you are using the /DOUBLE_BUFFER switch.
A device= statement in the CONFIG.SYS file does not load the SMARTDrive cache; it
loads only the double-buffering device driver embedded in the SMARTDRV.EXE file.
This device driver cannot be loaded into upper memory.
WORKAROUND
==========
To correct this problem, in the CONFIG.SYS file, change the devicehigh=
statement for SMARTDRV.EXE to device= and add the /DOUBLE_BUFFER switch, then
run MemMaker again.
