[comp.windows.ms] Problem Using DOS prompt in Windows 3.0

sui@rt16.cs.wisc.edu (Sui Choy) (07/07/90)

I don't know whether anyone of you has the following problem in using 
DOS prompt. When I open more than one COMMAND.COM (either full
screen or windowed), they will give me the message: 
"Memory Allocation Error   Invalid COMMAND.COM  System Halt" and 
I have to terminate through the task through the control menu.
I have tried other mode but the problem still persists.

However, the system works just fine if I open only ONE DOS-prompt
or run DOS applicatons directly through the Program Manager of Windows.

I'm running MS-DOS 4.01, 4 Meg RAM with HIMEM.SYS and SMARTDRV.SYS 
installed.

Does anyone have any idea of this? 

Thanks in advance!
