Here is the CONFIG.SYS for my home machine (a 486/33 with 16 megs) – of course, they get a lot more complicated at the office with lots of memory, other stuff loaded, (network drivers, etc.)… device=\qemm\qemm386.sys RAM break=off STACKS=0,0 BUFFERS=20 DEVICE=c:\qemm\loadhi.sys /r:1 \dos\ansi.sys /L SHELL=COMMAND.COM /P/E:450 FILES=40 dos=high Sometimes you need to exclude areas of memory for certain video cards, network drivers, SCSI cards, etc. But there are other times you can just give it the defaults and go! Try running the OPTIMIZE program that comes with QEMM – it will usually load all your TSR's into high memory automatically for you! (see the ANSI.SYS line above) This configuration gives me about 625k free base memory. We did some speed tests, and found it to be the same speed or faster than HIMEM.SYS – I am curious about Ingo's comment about speed differences. We are running QEMM on all 11 3DS / AutoCAD machines at the office this way with no problems that we know of! <g>
