[comp.windows.ms] Memory problems..

swyatt@brahms.udel.edu (Stephen L Wyatt) (12/15/90)

I have a problem configuring windows to use my memory correctly.. I have a
clone 386 (100% compatible at though..) with 4 megs of memory (extended) and
about 80 megs of disk space.. If I try to run win386 it says I don't have 
enough memory.. and microsoft word continually polls my HD (ALL during the 
application, even without anything happening).. I'm guessing thats the 
virtually memory, and I think the application said I really didn't have 
much memory left.. Any ideas what I should do? I have the Extended Memory
driver set at something like 2 megs, and HImem is installed.. I did have a
1.5 meg ramdrive, but after all these problems, I took it out.. win386
still said I didn't have enough memory... any help would be appreciated.
please send mail to me directly at "swyatt@udel.edu" since I don't
normally read this group.. thanks.
