Karl,

You are using an old DOS based program from inside the Windows environment.
It is trying to interpret your system's memory in the context of the old DOS
environment.  XMS was a feature that DOS used to defeat the 640K RAM limit.
XMS is not used by Windows-based applications.

To get a more accurate picture of your system's memory usage, use a windows
based utility.  There are a number of third party applications that can do
this.  My preferred tool is Nuts & Bolts,  if you have any version of MS
Office installed, then you already have a utility.

Load Word or Excel or PowerPoint or Access and then
click HELP -- ABOUT,
then click the SYSTEM INFO button.
Now select HARDWARE and finally MEMORY.
When you select MEMORY, click BASIC in the right half of the window.
