My 386 PC reports that I have 654360 conventional memory when I do a "chkdsk" or a "mem" (DOS 5.0). This is 1024 short of the expected amount. I seem to remember that there was a virus that caused this result, but VSCAN finds nothing wrong. Does anyone know if this is a virus or just some weird hardware failure ? Any help is appreciated. thanks Bob Knazik rknazik@x102a.ess.harris.com
