4.2 Solving Memory Conflicts by Excluding an Address Range If you encounter the following message when starting Windows in 386 enhanced mode, and the address specified is not B000, you must exclude the address range. "Windows cannot set up an upper memory block at segment xxxx. Exclude this address space by using the syntax of your memory manager. For more information, see the README.WRI file. Type WIN /S to start Windows in standard mode and choose the Read Me icon." If the address specified is B000, you can try using MONOUMB2.386 or MONOUMB.386, as described in the preceding topic. The method you use to exclude an address range depends on the memory manager you are using. For example, if you are using EMM386.EXE, you need to remove the I=xxxxx option from the device=emm386.exe command line in your CONFIG.SYS file, where xxxxx is the address range starting at the address specified in the error message. If you are using QEMM, you need to include the X= option on the device=qemm386.sys command line in your CONFIG.SYS file. For example, to exclude the address range C000-C7FF, you would specify the following: device=qemm386.sys X=C000-C7FF For more information about modifying your CONFIG.SYS file, see your MS-DOS documentation. For more information about installing and configuring EMM386.EXE, see Chapter 14, "Optimizing Windows," in the Microsoft Windows User's Guide. For information about installing and configuring other memory managers, see the documentation provided with your memory manager. .
