How to create virtual memory in dos

[Aris]

Last week i tried to run an old dos application but i got the msg that i need more memory to run the application!
How can i create virtual memory(like the old "memmaker")

Hello Aris,
Welcome to Virtual Dr.
Sounds more like you need more conventional memory. Here's the thread on how to do that, also on adding memmaker to a win 9.x system.

See this Microsoft KB page for instructions on How to Install Old MS-DOS Tools in Windows 95 (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q147831). If you don't have your Windows 95 CD, see their CD-ROM Extras for Microsoft Windows 95 (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q135315) page to download Olddos.exe (near the bottom of the page).

As far as the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files go, copying them from one system to another will generally not work. Exactly what's in each file is dependant on what's installed in the system.
