I have recently formatted my Hard disk. Now I am trying to load windows 98 on it. But when I try to run setup, the message comes up "setup cannot find a high memory manager and cannot continue" Please advise what may be the reason. ------------- http://www.sgrj.com" rel="nofollow - chartered accountants India , http://www.delhiprofessionals.com" rel="nofollow - accounting Outsourcing ISO Certification |

This is going back a little, but if I recall correctly, you need to have emm386.sys and/or himem.sys specifed in your config.sys or autoexec.bat. I believe those were part of a dos install that 98 looks for, then replaces with it's own versions.
After you format the HD, you need to install DOS before win98 - I think - lol. -------------

I do OS and software installation for a living. Of course, I'm lazy now
and use imaging to install everything including apps in under 10 mins.  However, to install '98 the "manual" way, I always used a '98 boot floppy which loads everything you need into memory. Boot it with CD-Rom support, and then just navigate to the CD setup directory though the DOS prompt and install away. ------------- http://webspacegeeks.com - Need Hosting, Domains, Dedicated Servers? http://www.smartergeek.com - web design | pc support | training | podcasts | video production |
