Message-ID: <19981123131535.12543.rocketmail@send102.yahoomail.com> Date: Mon, 23 Nov 1998 05:15:35 -0800 (PST) From: Moris Morisson Subject: Message: Load error: No DPMI memory To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Reply-To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com Hello, I would like to ask if there could be some assistance about the message in the subject line. It seems an "easy-to-solve" matter but I have gone through all the FAQ's questions (to my knowledge extention), and could not find the reason of it. Well, I normally work on a Venturis FX Pentium 5100e Digital machine which runs Windows NT Workstation version 4.00.1381. To begin with, I have no administrator rights, but can access root directory files and edit autoexec.nt. Ok, the problem is I can compile and run my C programs just fine, but when I try to compile and run my C++ programs ( gcc -c prognamesource.cc -o rognamedest.exe) it normally does nothing but display the prompt again (??- of course! the program displays at least something more than that!!), or it halts the CMD session. Then, I try to compile to obtain the object file ( gcc -c prognamesource.cc) and use coff2exe to get the executable file, this is when the above message appears. When, in some instance I run go32-v2 it gives me the following information (only a Netscape Navigator Session, this one, and a couple of CMD's sessions are up): DPMI memory available: 7639 kb DPMI swap space available: 10101 kb Machine has 40 MB RAM installed. FAQ #3.1 says that a minimum of 8MB extended RAM is necessary to run large C++ programs, but the one I run is a small one and don't think this plus the linked header occupy too much space in the compiled one. Also, FAQ#3.3 says under the configuration I have, it's supposed to work, anyway, reinstallation is not one of my choices either!! I also checked the AUTOEXEC.NT file (according to FAQ# 6.2 since I can't load CWSDPMI under NT, of course, I tried to do it first but certainly doesn't work), and the command line has the following: REM Install DPMI support lh %SystemRoot%\system32\dosx It means, DPMI is indeed, being loaded. Well, I have no idea where else to go and if something can be done (of course again, without reinstalling the OS!!), I would really, really appreciate. I have had a good time with my C programs under DJGPP, and would like to continue using it for my C++ ones!! Thanks a lot!!
