I have been using 3DS for A LONG TIME and never ran into this problem. I just upgraded all of my Macines to 96 meg., and 3DS only recognizes 64????? Any thoughts Puzzled Kevin

You (like the rest of us) have a DOS problem. You need QEMM or some other memory manager to make DOS see more then 64 Mb or RAM. Max, Max, Max!

Dear Puzzled, I just had this Jamie Clay message fragment passed to me: o Get QEMM 7.04 (actually you can't yet purchase this, but you can get the patch to QEMM 7.x on CIS in the QEMM forum) o Then you use the(undocumented) SCANMEM command to display the amount of memory the machine has. SCANMEM returns a memory range called USERAM. o That range then needs to be plugged into the QEMM386.SYS's USERAM option in the CONFIG.SYS. Example: DEVICE=C:\QEMM\QEMM386.SYS RAM USERAM=XXXXX-XXXXX From there it works like a champ. Note – you needed to add the RAM option to get Windows to work with it. Based on past experience, this technique generally works. However, on one of my computers that I just upped to 96M, I had tried all of this and I have not yet been successful in getting 3DS (or Windows) to see more than 64. I have not yet given up, however! Later… JKJ
