Don, I noticed that your EMM386 call doesn't specify the amount of memory to convert. For some fool reason, when you just use "EMM386.exe ram", the default amount of memory converted to EMS is 256K. This is why ACAD reports only 240K of extended memory – if any memory is converted, ACAD will only use the converted memory, so it doesn't know you have that 8Meg. Try changing the line to read : device=c:\dos\emm386.exe xxxx ram Where xxxx is the amount of memory you want ACAD to use, i.e. your 8Meg minus the 1024K base for 7168, or if you need to reserve XMS memory for another application subtract that out as well. You should see your status report for extended increase, and speed will be all better. Sorry for the repetition if someone has already pointed this out by the time this is uploaded. Dave T-L
