Please confirm exactly how much memory you have:-

4mb (seems low for w2000 involvement)
or
4096mb (seems high for dos involvment)

Using the message find facility on the left of this screen, take a look at message 11223/dos forum, where a similar question was posted.

Good Luck - Keep us posted.

Sure it doesn't say 4096 Kb? That's 4Mb and typical for a 386 or 486 machine that hasn't been tweaked over the years.

Are you talking about 4 Gigs memory? if so no wonder himem from win 3x doesn't support it.
Get the Himem.sys from a win 98 boot disk or install..it should work (although 4 gigs is a bit high for even that..no idea how that'll work..)
