The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system versions 6.2, 6.21, 6.22
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
You may receive the following error message when you run MemMaker:
EMM386 DMA Buffer is too small. Add D=48 parameter and reboot.
CAUSE
=====
This problem occurs when you are running:
- Qemm instead of EMM386.EXE version 4.48 (which is included with MS-DOS 6.2).
- EMM386.EXE version 4.44 (which is included with Windows 3.1).
WORKAROUND
==========
To work around this problem:
- Change the EMM386.EXE command in your CONFIG.SYS file to correctly reference
the version supplied with MS-DOS 6.2, and then run MemMaker. For an example
of this command, see step 2 in the procedure below.
-or-
- Replace the Qemm commands with the correct MS-DOS commands for HIMEM.SYS and
EMM386.EXE and then run MemMaker. To do so:
1. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file and remove the Qemm statements to disable Qemm.
2. Add DEVICE commands for HIMEM.SYS and EMM386.EXE (including the D=48
parameter). For example:
device=c:\dos\himem.sys
device=c:\dos\emm386.exe d=48
3. Reboot your computer and run MemMaker.
