Subject: Learned something new to me


Hi Ed!

 EV> The XP Taskbar has 28 to 32 programs open when I wanted to Open
 EV> another File, but nothing happened.
 EV> The XP box has 3GB RAM which I thought should allow me to do
 EV> anything that I wanted to do when I bought it in 2006.

I'm pretty much only using (Virtual) XP for the BBS stuff and haven't 
fiddled around in ages.  At the Command Promot tyoe 'mem' and see if any
hints there.

Mine comes out really strangely:

    655360 bytes total conventional memory
    655360 bytes available to MS-DOS
    634048 largest executable program size

   1048576 bytes total contiguous extended memory
         0 bytes available contiguous extended memory
    941056 bytes available XMS memory
           MS-DOS resident in High Memory Area
          
I'm thinking maybe the reason you can't open your 40th window is there 
is not you're out of system memory but rather you're out of memory for 
whatever application governs the files.



 EV> Still learning.

That's good! :)
