View Full Version : freeing up base memory


Terry
May 24th 04, 12:38 PM
I need to influence what gets loaded into the upper memory blocks. The
config.sys file has the following (emm386 line may wrap)

DEVICE=C:\windows\himem.sys
DEVICEHIGH=C:\windows\EMM386.EXE NOEMS HIGHSCAN I=B000-B7FF WIN=C900-CBFF
WIN=B500-B7FF
DOS=HIGH
DOS=UMB
FILES=120
BUFFERS=80
DEVICEHIGH=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\display.sys con=(ega,,1)
SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM C:\ /e:2048 /p
Country=044,850,C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\country.sys

This gives about 540K free but I need more.

mem /p /c shows that vmm32 loads about 68K into base memory with about 59K
into upper memory. command and dblbuff are wholly loaded into base memory.

Is there a way in which I can influence where vmm32 loads the .vxd files and
also getting command and dblbuff into upper memory?

Regards

Thanks for the help,

Managed to claw back another 7K pushing Keyb high, however I have a machine
that has a whopping overhead for vmm32 usage which is to do with .vxd loads.
These file details are held in registry and the windows/system/vmm32 folder.
I need a way to influence how vmm32 loads them.

Virtually all of vmm32 on this machine loads into upper memory. I think you may
just have too many other things taking the space first. Try cleaning it up a
bit....is there some reason you need all the EMM386.exe params that you show? Is
there some reason you have Files and Buffers set so high? Is there some reason you
have the Shell command included, loading a second instance of the command
interpreter?

With this config.sys file:
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS
DOS=HIGH,UMB
FILES=60

I get:

Name Total Conventional Upper Memory
-------- ---------------- ---------------- ----------------
SYSTEM 37,424 (37K) 10,960 (11K) 26,464 (26K)
HIMEM 1,120 (1K) 1,120 (1K) 0 (0K)

Hi,

Need the params for a dos program to run in the base memory. Guess I'll have
a look at what is being loaded by vmm32 to see if any are not needed.

Thanks

Use a .pif to run the DOS app separately, using its own reboot to DOS mode. Why run
it within Windows?

Not really sure what you mean by that.

You do not have very much control over what physical mmory gets used.

I am running Sage Line 100 and also required other windows apps to be open
as well (Act, MS Office etc). Generally the params will free up about 604K,
but I have one machine where vmm32 is using more base memory than others.
Booting into DOS is not an option.
