Error: Not enough extended...(due to large RAM using too much extended memory).
Error:
Not enough extended memory available to run Windows. Quit one or more applications to increase available memory, or restart your computer. Press any key to continue.
Cause:
The computer is configured with a RAM drive larger than 15 MB, which allocates all available extended memory below the 16 MB physical address. Memory below 16 MB is required (for DMA buffers) to start Windows 95.
Solution:
Edit Config.sys and decrease the size of the RAM drive to less than 15 MB.
NOTE: The following task should be performed by a qualified computer technician.
1) Reboot the computer.
2) Press F8 when the 'Starting Windows 95' message displays.
3) Select 'Safe mode command prompt only'.
4) Type the following command at the prompt:
EDIT <drive>:\CONFIG.SYS
(where <drive> represents the root directory).
5) Press ENTER.
6) Select the 'File' menu and select 'Save As...'.
7) Type a new filename to save a backup copy of Config.sys to and press ENTER:
EXAMPLE: CONFIG.BAK
8) Locate the RAMDRIVE.SYS line.
9) Change the line to a value LOWER than 15 MB.
EXAMPLE: DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\RAMDRIVE.SYS 8192
creates an 8 MB RAM drive.
10) Select the 'File' menu and select 'Save As...'.
11) Type CONFIG.SYS as the filename.
12) Reboot the computer and restart Windows 95.
