I solved a similar problem on Win98 by:
1) Clicking on the DOS icon in upper left corner of screen
2) Clicking on "Properties"
3) Clicking on "Memory" tab
4) Changing the "Initial Environment" setting to "2816"
These directions were gleaned from "Core Servlets and Java Server Pages" by Marty
Hall, p 17. and they helped me.
I remember having to reset them from various windows, such as once for the
startup.bat and then again for shutdown.bat and so on.
