Sorry to ask that again, it used to work and doesn't anymore. I don't know
what I did. Setting up the memory requirement in Win 95 doesn't cut it,
could someone with a lot of patience please explain me what to do...again
? TIA ! Greg ;-)

(I have several dos menus at startup: windows/games/etc.. but even a
mimimal one eats up too much memory! and with F1GP2 delayed a little
longer.....)

I had this problem when I added a driver (ANSI.sys) to the config.sys file.

I'm new to WIN95 myself and the only way I could find to get round this is to open the 'Advanced...' properties box in the program tab (I think) and check the 'use MS-DOS mode' box. This will allow you to set up a separate config for your DOS program.

Does anyone have any better suggestions?

I'm now able to run F1GP from Win95 after playing around with my memory setup.
I'm able to run it with 605,000 bytes (591k) of conventional memory when I
check memory through a DOS window. (mem /c) The only way I have been able to
achieve this so far is to completely wipe my config.sys and my autoexec.bat
just sets my screen refresh rate and loads my mouse driver - that's it. All
other Win95 drivers must run automatically as everything in Win 95 works fine.
In the memory tab I have everything on auto. The only confusing thing so far
is that when I look at my memory usage in a DOS window there seems to be all
sorts of other things loaded that aren't in my autoexec.bat and I have no
config.sys. I presume Win95 uses another boot script to load all this ***-
can anyone enlighten me on this issue.
Good luck - Lochiel

Are you loading in your old DOS device drivers (sound card, mouse,
etc.)? Win95 doesn't use these, it uses it's own 32-bit drivers that
don't need conventional memory.

Also, is your system set up to multiboot? If it is, there are different
autoexec.bat and config.sys files for Win95, DOS 7.0, and DOS 6.x.
