Hello, all!
On 3 different old computers (486 to Pentium 100 -
all with at least 16 MB), I installed the new Service Release 2 from the
bootable CD. I installed on either FAT16 or FAT32 partitions (1 to 2 GB)
created by FreeDOS. All of the installations were error-free.
On all 3 machines I generate this error while
processing AUTOEXEC.BAT:
FreeCOM: XMSSwap-In: Memory allocation
error
Cannot terminate permanent FreeCOM instance System halted ... reboot or power off now The only thing I have figured out so far is
that the problem is related to SHSUCDX. Three scenarios:
1) If I let the program load high with the default
command line created by the installer, then it will load successfully, but
some program loading after it in AUTOEXEC.BAT will generate the memory
allocation error.
2) If I use SHSUCDX with the /C switch to load in
conventional memory, the error does not occur.
3) On two of the machines, the error will not occur
during boot-up (but it probably will while loading other programs) if I leave
out the /C switch but move SHSUCDX to the bottom of AUTOEXEC.BAT. On the
third machine the error occurs while SHSUCDX is loading.
Anyone recognize this problem?
I follow with my configuration below.

P.S. You may know that I am also troubleshooting a
problem with EMM386 and the PCI video card on one of these three machines, but
because this error is on all three I am thinking the problems are not
connected.
