okay, i'm running WinXP and using QB7.1, and i can't install future lib. i downloaded it, set the compiler and library paths correctly , and clicked file>build qb7.1 library, then a list of things came up like:
operations+files\71\qbxms&
or something like that
then it said
List File:
-hit any key-
file not found
and it aborted. i went to look at the log file from the file menu, but it said
EMM: No EMS memory found
it said the same thing for when i hit the little 'i' 's under setup>library
what should i do? thanks for the help.
For Windows Me or earlier:
edit your c:\config.sys and make sure it has these lines:
Code:
device=himem.sys
device=emm386.exe RAM
dos=high,umb
If it can't find himem.sys or emm386.exe put paths on them.
For Windows 2000 and later:
Change the EMS setting in the Properties window to Auto.
i have windows XP, and there's no EMS setting in the properties window...

What do you mean? Look again *properly* :o
If you dont have EMS settings then I think you need to install EMM386...something first.
XP sucks for QB. ME is the Best! 8)
i looked again. properly. there aren't ems settings in the properties window.
i looked up EMM386 and it said it's not on XP. i guess i'll look for another LIB, any suggestions?
Don't give up yet. I'd bet you're right clicking on the command prompt itself. Try it with an exe instead, like flbuild.exe. There should be an EMS setting somewhere. Then start flbuild by double clicking it or the shortcut that was created when you changed the EMS setting.

Windows NT/2000/XP can't use EMM386, that's just a Win9x/3.x/dos thing, BBQ.

Ok, But I suppose he will require to make use of a EMS driver of some sort. Better than using XP he can make use of VMWare or install DOS on a dedicated partition. I wish that he was using Linux doing that would become really simple. He can use Disk Druid to format the partition with Fat32 or 16 format even if it was previously NTFS =*(

Windows XP emulates EMS - it doesn't need any kind of driver for it.

Whatever :-? I feel he should install VMWare for WinXP or install DOS on another partition. :bounce:
