    dos parameters and settings

    i still use some dos applications, and need to know how can i manage umb
    (upper memory blocks), and how do i get the normal conventional memory
    "programs and services" to use this area of conventional memory

    my need is to free as much as possible conventional ram for the dos program

    this is a station that is used in a bussines environment and the application
    operated nominaly in xp (any version)

    your help will be appreciated

    RE: dos parameters and settings

    Hello,
    Locate \windows\system32\command.com
    Create a shortcut to comand.com
    Right-click the shortcut and choose properties then choose memory
    You can also config a config and autoexec file under the Program Tab, then
    advanced button.
    Thanks,
    Darrell Gorter[MSFT]
