Using Drivespace

If you are using Drivespace, check if Windows is wasting 109K of conventional memory.

In graphical windows, type 'mem/c/p' in a Dos box
if you see 'drvspace.bin' or dblspace.bin' you are wasting memory.
That is the *real mode* driver and it is supposed to be unloaded when the GUI starts.
See MS Knowledge base article #Q134364 for how to fix it.

Even if you fix the driver unloading in the GUI, if you boot to Dos, it will happen again if you start windows by typing 'WIN'.
