Well.. I have an interesting problem. Essentially, the "problem" is that when I run some decompressing programs using the command prompt in XP (I'd call it the dos shell, but with xp there is not dos) I get an error:
ERROR: An Extended Memory Manger is already installed.
XMS Driver not installed.
Now.. I upgraded from 98, so there were some himem and emm386 lines in my config.sys which stayed after the upgrade.
However, I removed them, AND ran the XP install fix thing.. essentailly installing it again. All to no avail. As well, if I delete himem.sys, it respawns (EMM386 doesn't exist).
XP should have no need of it, not having dos and all, yet I can't get rid of it, or turn it off.
I believe it may be loading from IO.sys but I have no idea how to change that..
Anyway.. any comments would be appreciated...
Thanks,
Jeremy.
