Problem

Solutions: Normally Microsoft Windows uses your system's expanded memory as efficiently as possible. However, sometimes you might want to control MS Windows' use of expanded memory. To do so, you can include expanded-memory switches on the MS Windows command line. You can specify one or more of the following switches: /E Tell MS Windows how much conventional memory must be available in order to use large-frame EMS mode. If there is less conventional memory available than the amount you specify, MS Windows starts in small-frame EMS mode instead of large-frame EMS mode. /L Move the EMS bank line up or down by 1-Kilobyte increments. To move the bank line up, specify the /L switch, followed by a plus sign(+) and the number of kilobytes you want to move the bank line. For example, to move the bank line up to 16K, you would specify the value /l+16. To move the bank line down, specify the /L switch, followed by a minus sign (-) and the number of kilobytes you want to move the bank line. For example, to move the bank line down 8KB, you would specify the value /L-8. (Because the EMS bank line exists only in large-frame EMS mode, the /L switch has no effect when MS Windows uses small-frame EMS mode.) /N Prevent MS Windows from using any expanded memory. When running in real mode, MS Windows normally uses expanded memory if it is available. Note that these switches have no effect when starting MS Windows in standard or 386 enhanced mode. This information was taken from pages 429-430 in the Microsoft Windows User's Guide.
