Aptiva - Insufficient Memory messages
Applicable to: United States
Insufficient memory messages normally occur because there is not enough conventional memory available for programs. Keep in mind that even though 2MB or more may be installed, only 640KB of memory is directly accessible by DOS. (This 640KB block is called conventional memory). Any memory above 640KB is normally called extended memory and can only be used if:
a. You have a memory manager driver loaded (i.e. HIMEM.SYS) or
b. The program you are using has been written to take advantage of extended memory (i.e. Windows).
You can also convert this extended memory above 640KB into expanded memory using drivers such as EMM386.EXE. Loaded into conventional memory (0-640KB) are device drivers, Terminate and Stay Resident (TSR) programs, and DOS itself, often leaving only 570-590KB available for applications. To free up conventional memory, first try to remove unnecessary TSR's or device drivers that are loading into memory at boot-up. This can be done by modifying your CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT files.
