Solve : 16-bit app on Windows 98 HELP!?

Answer» <html><body><p>I NEED to run a 16-bit <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/windows-22662" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about WINDOWS">WINDOWS</a> program on Windows <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/98-malyana-ka-rinae-samajhata-para-hasatakashhara-236807" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about 98">98</a>. I have been using it before on this computer until recently. Every time I run it it says "out of memory" but I have about 50 MB free (I know thats not much it is an old computer). This program that I am using uses only about 2 MB of memory. Why won't it work? Quote</p><blockquote>I have about 50 MB free</blockquote>I'm assuming, this is free space on your hard drive?<br/>What is the whole hard drive size?Some details would be helpful...<br/>What Program ?<br/>Did it work previously ?<br/><br/>Post a copy of your autoexec.bat and config.sys and we'll have a looksee...<br/><br/>P.S. I believe you're confusing free space with memory...they are different.<br/>Some 16 bit programs needed tweaking to recognise extended memory in Windows which is another reason details would be good...When I say I have 50 MB free memory, I mean RAM. The hard drive space is not the problem. And Yes, it has worked previously.<br/><br/>The program I am trying to run is something I made, but I am SURE that the problem is not with my code because I have used it a lot of times before this happened.<br/><br/>Here is the config.sys:<br/>Code: <a>[Select]</a>DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS<br/>DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS<br/>DOS=HIGH,UMB,AUTO<br/>FILESHIGH=80<br/>BUFFERSHIGH=40,4<br/>DEVICEHIGH=C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\CPQIDECD.SYS /D:IDECD001<br/>SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM /P /E:2048<br/>And here is the autoexec.bat:<br/>Code: <a>[Select]</a>@IF ERRORLEVEL 1 PAUSE<br/>C:\ESSAUDIO.COM -BLASTER<br/>@ECHO OFFIf it's something you made there's no way we could offer help or guess at what it is without seeing it.<br/>What is this thing you made...or how about some info.<br/>You could have 1 eror in one line of code and well you get the idea...Here is some info about the program:<br/><br/>The program was made in Visual Basic 3.0. It is a program manager and has <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/icons-1035452" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ICONS">ICONS</a> that will launch a specified program. I <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/use-241643" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about USE">USE</a> it instead of windows explorer. The program paths and the icon names are stored in an .ini <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/file-11330" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about FILE">FILE</a> on drive C. I have used this for about 3 months with no problems and have not changed any of the code since then.<br/><br/>Here is what might have caused the problem:<br/><br/>I installed printer drivers for two new printers an HP LaserJet 1020 and a Epson photo RX620. I then installed firefox. The computer crashed wile using firefox so I turned it off manually. After all of this has been uninstalled my program still gives an out of memory error.<br/><br/>I have used some tools to monitor the memory but they all say there is about 50 MB free. That doesn't make sense because my program doesn't use that much.</body></html>
