The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The message "Insufficient Expanded Memory To Use /R" occurs when trying to start WP 5.1 for DOS from Windows. Solutions: The customer had added the line EMMSIZE=65,536 in the [386enh] section of the SYSTEM.INI file. After changing it to 655536 (i.e., taking out the comma), the problem no longer occurred. How/Why: The Windows Resource Kit, p. 200, mentions the default as being set to 65,536. Windows reads the comma as being the end of a line, and as a result, Windows was giving DOS applications only 65K maximum expanded memory.
