It keeps telling me the option of himemx.exe. Tried both of them (to Windows 98) but won't work.Īdded line to load himemx.exe on config.sys and autoexec.bat.ĭEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\himemx.exe /MAX=1048576 You need to enter the following lines to SYSTEM.INI file:Īlternatively you can use HIMEMX instead of HIMEM.SYS.

You should add that it will only work on a computer that uses BIOS or that has legacy boot in it’s UEFI. if you run Microsoft Diagnostics (msd.exe), it will identify your computer as IBM 486DX lol
