My computer has Windows 3.1, 16Mb of ram, about 70 Mb of unused hard
drive and I've used Memmaker to try and manage the memory.
When I run PhotoFinish to produce gifs or when I am on the www (using
Turnpike software including Netscape) for any length of time I seem to
run out of memory. Can anyone suggest why and how it can be corrected.
If I run MEM at the Dos prompt before starting WindowsI have 13.5 Mb of
memory free in total. 12.9Mb is XMS. When I start windows, I am left
with only 1.5Mb in total and only 1024BYTES of XMS. My conclusion is
that windows is somehow eating up the meoory. But how can there be so
much "resident" just by running windows?
Can anyone help?
