HI, I have a 486 33mhz with 128 k memory cache and 4mb memory … I have also a 100Mb hard disk (14 ms) … The problem is that a small picture like chair-3d took 10 minutes to draw …. this is my config.sys DEVICE=C:\VGAUTIL\RAMBIOS.SYS DEVICE=C:\VGAUTIL\VANSI.SYS DEVICE=C:\DOS\SETVER.EXE DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS DEVICE=C:\DOS\SMARTDRV.SYS 512 COUNTRY=002,,C:\DOS\COUNTRY.SYS DEVICE=C:\DOS\DISPLAY.SYS CON=(EGA,863,1) BUFFERS=40 FILES=40 dos=high I solved this problem by adding DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE 1024 …. So i conclude that autocad is using EMS memory instead of XMS .. How can i Solve this problem .?

Ziad – have you run the NEWDX program on your ACAD.EXE file yet? Makes a big difference! Dave

Ziad: Have you run the NEWDX.EXE file on ACAD.EXE? If not, that's the problem. Without doing that, ACAD won't be able to see the XMS memory that HIMEM.SYS is creating! Larry
