- This may be a really stupid question, but I won't know until I ask it. I
- recently beefed my memory from 8MB to 20MB. I cranked up the machine and
- everything went cool. All 20MB are there. I ran windows and it told me
- that Windows 3.0 (I am using 3.1 but that is what it said) will not use any
- memory above 16MB... reduce to 16MB and try again. Does this mean that I
- actually have to pull four megs out of my machine to get windows to run
- again? It can't just ignore the memory? I can't make my hard disk cache
- bigger so there is only 16MB left? (I tried this with the same result).
- What should I do?
