Compatibility-Mode with reduced Memory?

[Rainer Klueting]

Hi,

I'm using one of these lovely old applications which are really,
really good but made by programmers who liked to make a little trick
here and a little hack there.

Now I'm using Windows XP Home on a PC with 1 GB main memory, and the
program fails. I was informed that this application was not designed
to run in 512 MB main memory or more. May be I will get an update in
some weeks.

Is there a way via compatibility settings to tell the application a
wrong, namely lower, amount of main memory? Setting Windows 95 or
Windows NT compatibility does not help.

Thank you!

Hi,

You will need to go to Start/Run/Msconfig/Boot.ini/Advanced/MaxMem and set
it to 512, reboot. Other than that, you can add it as a boot option and/or
run the game via Virtual PC.

Hi Kelly,

it works!

Thank you very much! That was a very important tip, because I was
getting into troubles with people waiting for a job to be done. Now
it's done.

Thank you again!
