Don't know firsthand, but I'm referring to this: http://www.merlyn.demon.co.uk/pas-bptp.htm#V7 >>No idea why you would have a runtime error. You mean running >>BP7-compiled apps? Compiler itself?

I didn't specifically mean "only" runtime 200 error, also other things. I don't know what errors specifically he's seeing, hence I'm trying to find out which program(s) is causing what specific error(s). >>384 MB should be plenty for DPMI 16-bit, but maybe it's "too much"?? >>Dunno. > > Certainly not.

The total amount of physical RAM is different than the amount reported by various memory managers and things like DPMI. So you can have 1 GB of physical RAM using XMSv3 with 48 handles but a program that still chokes because of confusion. Since Windows (or similarly OS/2) does its own (limited) emulation of various memory-related cruds, it may or may not work better there, no matter how much "true" RAM exists. >>You could try limiting (or increasing) memory handles for XMS >>or (EMS?)

My point is, he needs to fiddle with quite a few things and try a few alternative memory managers and DPMI hosts (if possible). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
