memory error message

[Carol]

On Windows XP when running a batch file, we're getting
the error message "An extended memory manager is already
installed. XMS Driver not installed." Any ideas what's
causing this?

We appreciate any help we can get. Thanks.

Look in the content of the batch file. In some line it is attempting to
install a memory manager. This was common on previous versions of
Windows/DOS and is not needed with XP. Delete the line and try again.
(copy original batch file to a different location to save it) If you can't
obviously see which line is causing the problem, experiment by deleting one
line, save and run. If that fixes the problem, great. If not, copy the
original (saved) file back and remove a different line.

You might also post the contents of the batch file here and I might be able
to help you further. To do so, Right click on the batch file in windows
Explorer. Click Edit. Once notepad opens with the batch file inside, Hold
Ctrl key and press A. This highlights all the information in the batch
file. Hold Crtl key down again and tap C key. This copies the entire
contents into the clipboard. Go to your NG reader and Reply Group to this
