Hi LotusAstra.

This is a rather upsetting problem that is fairly easy to fix.
(Even happened to me once)

(I assume you have already found an HIMEM.SYS file in your Windows Directory)

You will need to edit your config.sys file (located in the c:\ (root) directory.

Find the line that looks like this:

DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS

And add the following to it so that it looks like this:

DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS /CPULOCK:ON /V /M:1

Then reboot.
That should get you going again.

Please note the /M:1 on the end.
The number 1 may need to be changed to another single number designation.
If one does not work, try the following numbers in this order:

11, 12, 13, 8, 2-10, 14-16.
