Did you create SYSTEM.CB or not?
Which? Do not know?
We SEEN #34~#35 - INCOMPLETE CHANGES!

Instructions at #35~#37. DO ALL OR WON'T WORK!!!! FORGET USE PATCH - USE HEX EDITOR INSTEAD! Inside IO.SYS REPLACE string "HIMEM.SYS" with "HIMEM.EXE" (NOT INSERT, BUT TYPE OVER TOP).

These are MY changes (WORKS! I have 1.5G)

Step#1

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM.INI

[386Enh]
MaxPhysPage=40000

Step#2

Download and Install Xeno86 VCache.VxD

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\VMM32\VCache.VxD <--here after install

Step#3

Click Link and find - "HimemX v3.32"

Download file and UNZIP with free 7-zip (FIRST ONE)

Copy HIMEMX.EXE to "C:\WINDOWS" folder and rename

C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.EXE <--HIMEMX.EXE RENAME TO THIS

Step#4

Click Link and download Fix for Win98SE Language

Install Fix (FIX is IO.SYS file YOU NEED)

Step#5

Download xRayeR Fix to C:\

Reboot using "F8" Keyboard Key

Select "Safe Mode COMMAND PROMPT ONLY" <-- NOT JUST SAFE MODE

Enter command -

C:\W98IOPAT.EXE

-OR-

Use Hex Editor while Normal Boot to change INSTEAD. In English Fix (from Step#5) using a Hex Editor I find "HIMEM.SYS" at Hex Offset A4F4.

Here is Trial Hex Workshop. Find and Download "Hex Workshop v5.14" (last one that works with Windows 98SE).

Any Hex Editor that works on Win98SE is OK.

Step#6

CONFIG.SYS

REM - added the following for GT 1gib mem
device=c:\windows\himem.exe /max=1048576 /numhandles=64 /verbose
REM - removed the following for GT 1gib mem
REM device=himem.sys

Step#7 (NEW STEP)

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM.CB

[386Enh]
MaxPhysPage=40000

"MaxPhysPage=48000" is MAXIMUM GOOD VALUE! I use smaller.

DO THIS OR NOT WORKING!!!

Thank you, very detailed steps!

Because in the forums looking for a long time, not the result I want.

Work purposes, do dual system DOS6.22 / 98SE-FAT16 / XP-FAT32, need RAM 2G

Hope can go in Safe Mode ~

Pray your way to solve my problem ~

In addition Enter command -

C: \ W98IOPAT.EXE ...... Y

IO.SYS open [OK]

Searching for HIMEM.SYS string ... [not found]

The second sentence above, is how can the problem? Do you have met before?

I can not find the file you said that SYSTEM.CB, may I ask where?

Can't you read English? :realmad:

SYSTEM.CB is another text mode configuration file that exists in C:\WINDOWS.

Stop bumping threads you don't understand.

Extract and drop the attached file into C:\WINDOWS:

system.zip

Thank you!! Approach has been successful!!

My motherboard's memory slots, only three slots - currently installed 2G RAM!

Normal and Safe mode can over 1.5G, run into! Need several tests, the stability!

But why in the system, only to see 1022.0MB RAM?

Ask questions:

RAM 1G or more, high stability of the system do?

On Windows 98 SE or in the window into the system easy to use in unstable? Some message window!!

Close the folder or another program, move the file information, could this be? Appear Explorer message, the problem is unknown ....

If you follow those successful users, adjusting values, you can hug? To change System.cb .....

Day-to-day running Win 9x/ME with more than 1 GiB RAM

Problem should be resolved -

Stable operation of the test a few days now, 2G RAM

Normal and Safe mode can over 1.5G, run into! Need several tests, the stability!

But why in the system, only to see 1022.0MB RAM?

If widnows 98 SE part of all are considered normal, then the next stage ready to install windows XP, set the dual system!

Thanks submix8c friends finally provide detailed way!

dencorso also help solve the guide .... thank you

Because I set MaxPhysPage=40000 in system.cb

You can edit it to be MaxPhysPage=48000 and it'll see more RAM

USE HEX EDITOR!!!!
But why in the system, only to see 1022.0MB RAM?
Win98SE will NEVER "see" more and CANNOT use ANY MORE THAN (CANNOT CHANGE THAT!)
Ask questions: RAM 1G or more, high stability of the system do?

On Windows 98 SE or in the window into the system easy to use in unstable? Some message window!!

Close the folder or another program, move the file information, could this be? Appear Explorer message, the problem is unknown ....

You MUST be using a LARGE program somewhere! WIN98SE HAS LIMITS! CANNOT FIX ALL!!! READ ALL BLUE THREAD LINKS IN THIS!!!

NO MAGIC BULLETS TO MAKE EVERYTHING BIGGER!!!! WE HAVE NOT Win98SE SOURCE CODE!!!

Step#7 (NEW STEP)

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM.CB <--- SEE WHERE IS???

And I SEE you have posted in OTHER THREAD - YOU NOW HAVE MANY ANSWERS!!!!

READ READ READ ALL LINKS IN LINK GIVEN ABOVE! Then you KNOW ALL!!!!

YOU USE MY SETTINGS FROM OTHER THREAD! DENCORSO AND ALL SAY MAXIMUM STABLE IS ABOVE NUMBER! SET SAME IN "SYSTEM.INI" - BOTH PLACES!!! As I said in other thread Win98 has MAX RAM CAN USE AND CANNOT BE FIXED WE HAVE NO SOURCE CODE!

(tired.....)

In addition to the boot, I discover that this what is the solution? Grub4dos

ERROR: an extended memory manager is already installed.

xms driver not installed.

???? Now you throw Grub4DOS in to RAM solution??? MAKE A NEW THREAD - Grub4DOS is NOT to do with RAM!!! Make new thread in Windows 98 Forum and give ALL DETAILS OF WHAT YOU DO (where INSTALL Grub? MBR? Partition? WHERE? HOW?)!!! YOU MAKE NEW CHANGES BEFORE TEST RAM FIXES!

(yes, VERY tired...)

Without my Patch, Windows 98 cannot recognize more than approx. 1.15GB of RAM. If it recognizes more than 1.15GB of RAM it will crash.

Setting MaxPhysPage limits what Windows recognizes. You will need my Patch if you want to be able to actually use more than 1.15GB of RAM.

Not true. I have a Patch that allows Windows 98SE to see up to 4GB of RAM and use all of it.

The workarounds in this thread ARE limited to 1.15GB of useable RAM.

Your Windows 95/98/SE/ME RAM Limitation Patch, is it a completely free version? Or watched other versions?

http://rloew1.no-ip.com/Programs/Patchm.htm

Current settings

Adjust MaxPhysPage = 40000 to 48000

From 1022.0MB to 1152.0MB

SYSTEM.INI

[386Enh]

MaxPhysPage = 48000

[vcache]

MaxFileCache = 524288

CONFIG.SYS

device = c: \ windows \ himem.exe / numhandles = 64 / verbose

REM device = himem.sys

SYSTEM.CB

[386Enh]

MaxPhysPage = 48000

[vcache]

MaxFileCache = 524288

Normal operation of the above settings

Another question, do not know is set to generate it?

ERROR: An Extended Memory Manager is already installed.

XMS Driver not installed.

How to solve ~ please?

Can only be set to "MaxPhysPage = 48000" is MAXIMUM GOOD VALUE!

System displays 1152.0MB RAM

Can not display the full current RAM it?

http://rloew1.no-ip.com/Programs/Patchm.htm

The Patch is complete. It is not free, the price is stated on the web page you linked.

With the Patch, CONFIG.SYS, SYSTEM.INI and SYSTEM.CB do NOT need any modifications for Normal Mode or Safe Mode.

Windows will then report the full amount of RAM.

THIS POST you ask same question about Max RAM.

THIS POST says MAX IS ALL WITHOUT SPECIAL PATCH.

Adjust MaxPhysPage = 40000 to 48000

From 1022.0MB to 1152.0MB

The workarounds in this thread ARE limited to 1.15GB of useable RAM.
EQUAL!!!

NO, special patch NOT FREE - Look at website AGAIN! Trail HALTS OS after TIME!!! You must BUY! Only SOME other patches FREE! Others PAY! Look HERE (MAIN PAGE) and HERE.

HERE lists SOME FREE and PRICES for any PAY FOR THINGS. :w00t:

rloew allowed to post here BECAUSE HELPS AND GIVES SOME FREE BUT NOT ALL FREE. rloew does NOT advertise "products" here so rloew is FOLLOWING RULES. READ ALSO RULES! YOU ARE BUMPING MANY TOPICS AND ASKING SAME QUESTIONS IN ALL!!! :realmad:

HERE I give answer to last question you ask

ERROR: An Extended Memory Manager is already installed.

XMS Driver not installed.

From topic -
In addition to the boot, I discover that this what is the solution? Grub4dos

ERROR: an extended memory manager is already installed.

xms driver not installed.

THIS IS NOT GRUB4DOS! I ask in other topic for you to start NEW TOPIC. Go read it!!! :yes:
