- Common problems and solutions
- =============================================================================

-
- NOT ENOUGH FREE MEMORY
- ======================
-
- Problem: When I run Space Chase, the game refuses to start and gives
- me the message "You need (amount) more free memory to run this program".
-
- Solution: You need to free up more main (conventional) memory before
- starting Space Chase. Here are some solutions:
-
- 1. If you are trying to run Space Chase from Windows, completely exit
- Windows and try running it from DOS.
-
- 2. If you are trying to run Space Chase from "DOSSHELL" or any other
- menu program, please exit from the menu program. Then, run Space Chase
- from the DOS prompt. Menu programs often occupy enough memory that
- there won't be enough left for Space Chase.
-
- If neither #1 or #2 solves the problem, do the following:
-
- 1. From the DOS prompt, type "MEM" and press Enter.
-
- 2. You'll see a lot of information about your computer's memory. Look at
- the number after the words "Largest Executable Program Size". This is
- the amount of memory you currently have available.
-
- Now you need to free up more main memory. Here are some tips:
-
-
- 1. You may need to modify your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files
- in your root directory. This can be done in any version of DOS.
-
- Rewrite your CONFIG.SYS file to contain the lines:
-
- HIMEM.SYS
- EMM386.EXE NOEMS HIGHSCAN
- DOS=HIGH,UMB
-
- 2. We also recommend that you clean out all other TSR's and memory
- managers from CONFIG.SYS by either removing the line, or by typing
- "REM" before the command.
-
- 3. Once your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files have been changed, you must
- restart your computer for the changes to take effect. Do this by
- pressing the CTRL-ALT-DEL keys simultaneously.
-
- 4. A handy program for MS-DOS 6.0+ users is MEMMAKER. This file will
- help you optimize your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files to allow
- you optimal memory conservation.
-
- 5. Please read the manual that came with DOS for more information about
- configuring memory.
