Hi David, I am curious how to run memmaker
under under Windows, I have
tried and it tells me bad command or file
name. I have Windows version
4.00.950 B and do not have Dos installed
except what is installed from
Windows CD. I am running Fat 32. My browser's
are Communicator 4.05 and
I.E. 3.02 I almost always use Netscape. As far
as the scanning goes, I
should have described that better, when I am
scanning photos to put into
jpeg, gif etc. the PC really slows down. I'm
sure by adding more memory
that should help that problem I hope. I just
bought and installed this
MotherBoard 2 months ago and it is suppose to
recognize  up to 128 mg of
ram, not meaning to argue the point of going
above 64 mg would slow it
down, as I am typing at this time it is having
some trouble keeping up with
me and I am not a fast typist. I have received
a few other opinions on
correcting the problem and no luck. I do
understand the point between the
differences MS-DOS and Dos as far what is
being used of the 640 k.
Thanks
