- To get my BC++ 3.1 to work on my 286 with 4 MB DRAM, I did the following:
-
- 1. Commented out the DEVICE=HIMEM.SYS instruction in CONFIG.SYS
- 2. Disabled all A20 control (my Chipset allowed me to permanently enable the
- A20 line)
- 3. Started the system from afresh
- 4. Ran DPMIINST
- 5. After DPMIINST registered the machine configuration in the database, I
- restored the commented line in CONFIG.SYS (ie. undo steps 1 & 2).
-
- It worked subsequently.
-
- Please try this out and let me know if it works. Regards.
