Something is stealing my memory in DOS
Something is stealing my memory in DOS
I used to be able to play many DOS games on my old computer, but now I don't have enough memory for some games. When I use the mem command I can see that 39kB of memory is taken by something called MSDOS. This appears both in Windows and when booted into real DOS. This hasn't always been here so there must be a way to get rid of it. Anyone know about this?

Well, you can load some of it into high memory and the Upper Memory blocks. To do that you need to have
DOS=HIGH, UMB in your config.sys file.

*Because I wanted someone to talk to*
*Well if you won't press Ctrl+Alt+Delete press that little button just beneath where the handset goes on your phone*
*this o...*
