Im having trouble have my pc reconize over 64 meg. of ram in my system. The cmos counts all 128 but dos doesnt reconize over 64. Has anyone ever had this problem, and is there a fix. -Gregg Daly

Are either of you guys using a memory manager? Sometimes those things don't like big chunks of memory(go figure!<g>) Jh

Gregg: To see my 72 Megs I had to get QEMM. Without it I had no luck. Bob

Hi Chuck, << where's my memory.. >> Here's a repost from Jamie Clay..(slightly dated but still valid) "If you ever have someone call in who has a system with more memory than AutoCAD or 3DS show available, here is one possible solution. (First, does all the memory count up during initial boot?, if so read on) o Get QEMM 7.04 (actually you can't yet purchase this, the patch is 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 USEMEM. 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."

I had trouble with Jamie Clay's instructions until I got on the QEMM forum and learned that I had to boot my computer "clean" before I ran SCANMEM. This means when "Starting MS-DOS…" is displayed, press F5 to bypass your config.sys and autoexec.bat. _Then_ run SCANMEM and add the appropriate "USERAM=XXXXXX-XXXXXXXXX" to your QEMM line in config.sys. -Tyler Colwell Sierra Analysis Group
