SYMPTOMS
========
If you have an SCSI hard disk and MemMaker stops responding (hangs), a device
driver may be loading into upper memory before the SMARTDrive double_buffer
driver in the CONFIG.SYS file.
WORKAROUND
==========
To work around this problem,
1. Restart your computer (if you haven't already done so).
2. When MemMaker prompts you for input, choose Cancel And Undo Changes.
3. Use MS-DOS Editor to add the following line to the beginning of your
CONFIG.SYS file:
device=c:\dos\smartdrv.exe /double_buffer+
NOTE: If this line already appears in your CONFIG.SYS file, make sure it is
the first line.
4. Save your CONFIG.SYS file.
5. Try running MemMaker again.
MORE INFORMATION
