Typically, you will need to load a memory manager in order to overcome
this issue. Not knowing what operating system boot disk you are using
is an issue here. However, Windows98 boot disks load a memory manager,
so let us assume it is either Windows95 or earlier.
You need to add the file HIMEM.SYS to your boot disk and
then modify your Config.sys file on the boot disk as follows:
Add this line in the Config.sys, (make this the first line):
DEVICE=himem.sys
Now, reboot your computer with the boot disk and it should work fine.
If the above instructions seem beyond you, you can download a pre-built
boot disk from our web site at: http://nospin.com/bootdisk
