Fixing VMM32 Memory Leak

Over time, real-mode drivers which are added to VMM32, might not be releasing memory .

To see if this is a problem on your system, run MEM /C /P and check the size allocated to VMM32.
It should not be much more that 2K or at least not growing over time.


If it is:

  1. Rename both your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT file
  2. Reboot
  3. Rename them back again
  4. Reboot again
  5. Run MEM /C /P again to note any change is size.
