PS/1 - Can MSCDEX version 2.22 be loaded into the upper memory area?

Applicable to: United States

You can use the LOADHIGH command to load MSCDEX version 2.22 into the upper memory area (UMA), but only on an 80386 or 80486 machine with available extended memory and an upper memory block (UMB) provider (such as EMM386.EXE, Qemm[TM], or 386MAX[R]).

If LOADHIGH fails to load the program into the UMA, use the MemMaker program to optimize your system. MemMaker may be able to find additional UMBs or rearrange the order in which programs are loaded so that MSCDEX can load into the UMA. CAUTION: MemMaker is incompatible with some 2155 models.

For more information on optimizing your system and using MemMaker, refer to the "Making More Memory Available" chapter in the "Microsoft Windows & MS-DOS 6 User's Guide."
