Microsoft Memmaker is a program that helps you optimize your computers
memory. It comes with DOS 6.0 and greater. Accessing Memmaker from
Desk+Plus causes a problem. In fact, the problem is not with Desk+Plus
but rather your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
When you run Memmaker, it will make changes to the way your memory is
set up. To make those changes kick in, Memmaker will reboot your computer.
Then it wants to verify that the memory changes did help. It expects the
computer to boot up, go through your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files
(this is the normal process that happens every time you boot up), and then
upon reaching the end of the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, the Memmaker program will
automatically reload.
The problem is that most Desk+Plus users will have their AUTOEXEC.BAT files
setup to automatically load Desk+Plus. This prevents Memmaker from ever
being able to finalize its procedure. Of course, the same thing goes for
anybody that has a program automatically load up.
The solution is a three step process:
1) Edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT file and REM out the line that loads up
Desk+Plus.
Example: REM C:\DESKPLUS\DESKPLUS.BAT
2) Run the Memmaker program and let it do its thing.
3) After Memmaker has finalized its operation, edit your
AUTOEXEC.BAT again and erase the REM statement.
Example: C:\DESKPLUS\DESKPLUS.BAT
(You can edit the file by typing 'EDIT C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT' and
substitute the appropriate drive letter where the file is
found.)
