Windows Forum / Windows 98 / Setup / May 2004can't install not enough extended memory
Whenver I try to install windows I get getting the message that setup cannot continue because my computer has less than the required extended memory. I have 728RAM of memory. It's a new hard drive with nothing on it. HELP!!!!! >Whenver I try to install windows I get getting the >message that setup cannot continue because my computer >has less than the required extended memory. I have >728RAM of memory. It's a new hard drive with nothing on >it. HELP!!!!! Boot with a Win98 Startup Diskette with CDrom support and run Setup from Dos. The Startup diskette will provide the memory needed for the install. The CDrom drive letter may be one letter higher due to a temporary Ram drive being created. e.g. D: to E: etc. Change to that and enter Setup. If Setup tries to install into a folder like Windows.000 or something similar put the cursor in the box and change it to C:Windows.

I still get the message that windows can't be install because this computer has less then the minimum required extended memory. >>-----Original Message----- >> [quoted text clipped - 34 lines] >can't be install because this computer has less then the >minimum required extended memory. I posted this to your other message also. That message is usually "not enough conventional memory". But try this anyway: When you boot with the Win98 Startup diskette and change to the CDrom drive enter: Setup /IM (that's an eye) That should skip the check for low conventional memory that Setup uses to de-compress files. Also after booting with the floppy enter: MEM /C Does the memory look ok? Regards, Bill Watt Computer Help and Information http://home.epix.net/~bwatt/ |
