I downloaded the library and followed the instructions i found on
http://www.basix.8m.net/howtouseFL.htm, but I cant get past the third step. Every time i exicute flbuild.exe, it comes up with a blank black screen, and I cant do anything. Is it a windows compatability problem? I have windows xp.
Just try to enable EMS/XSM in the properties of FLBuild.exe. This should solve your problem
I did 16384 (the max allowed) for both ems and xms, but it didn't do anything. then i did the same for dpmi, but nothing. am i missing something?
try setting it to auto. run qb in qb.ex /l
Which video card do you have?
Enable EMS in WinXP by:
- searching for a file called 'CONFIG.NT' in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32
- open this file
- add the line 'EMM=RAM' to it
- go to BIOS
- deactivate all USB keybs and mouses.
That should do it if you have the right mainboard
do I add 'EMM=RAM' (word for word) or is there something else I have to put instead of ram. And, what is the point of deactivate all the USB keybs and mouses? This is not my computer, so I would like to know exactly what to do so I don't screw it up.
Yes, you add exactly EMM=RAM, no substitutions.
Disabling onboard devices and disabling USB keyboard/mouse support frees up space in the UMA for a pageframe. (If you're lucky.)
