free up memory

2 posts by 2 people · 10 Apr 1995 - 12 Apr 1995

Hello, everyone. I have an F1 simulator from Accolade, and the good old Flight Simulaor, both of which need a big chunk of the 640K base memory to run. The problem is with the sound card and CD-ROM and othere kinds of drivers, I can hardly free up enough memory for these wonderful games. I tried DOS memmaker, but is still 40K short of the 570K required. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Stephen Chai

Try making a boot disk, and only put the drivers you ABSOLUTELY NEED in the CONFIG.SYS file, and load them high. After all, if you're running the original Flight Simulator, I don't think you need a CD-ROM driver loaded. Make sure you also have the line DOS=HIGH in your CONFIG file. Memmaker is a joke, because all it does it rearrange your config file; it doesn't remove any of the drivers. AJ
