The "rem" will stop that particular driver loading and hogging precious memory. Of course, if you later find you really do need to have that particular line loaded, you can just remove the "rem" and restart your computer.Īfter making these kind of adjustments to your config.sys and restarting your computer, go to the DOS prompt once again, typeĪnd press the Enter key. If your "Largest executable program size" is now above 550kb, then you should be able to run Spear Resurrection without any problem.

Or, if you're certain you don't need particular device drivers loaded from your config.sys, just put the letters "rem" in front of the line you don't need eg: In addition to the above, it's quite possible your config.sys file has other "DEVICE=" lines. Try changing those to "DEVICEHIGH=" and it's possible these may be loaded into upper memory areas thus freeing up base memory. Of course you'll need to restart your computer for these new settings to take effect. If, however, that 608 is less than 550, then you should look at freeing up some conventional memory. To do this, open your config.sys file (use "Notepad" or some similar text editor) and, if they're not already there, try inserting the following lines at the top:ĭEVICEHIGH=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE AUTO RAM

If that 608 is anything higher than 560, then you shouldn't have to worry. Between 550 - 560 should hopefully be adequate also.
