Please post some memory-usage figures, otherwise how do you expect anybody to help you? There is no magic wand here. What go32-v2 prints, how much memory did you allocate to SmartDrv and the RAM disk, approximately how much memory do you expect your program to allocate at run time, do you run on DOS or Windows--all these are required to help you efficiently. Please don't spare us the details. > Like copy critical(which?) files to the ram drive? This won't help unless your problem is with reading files from disk. Does your program read a lot? If not, this is not something that will help. > Don't use EMM even though its needed for other aps I use? You cannot do without EMM, since your DPMI memory comes out of the EMM pool. > Reconfigure EMM? Can't really say without seeing your current EMM configuration. How about sharing with us your EMM command line?
