Correcting the "Out of Environment Space" Error Message ------------------------------------------------------- If you receive an "out of environment space" message when starting Windows, you can either: * Increase the size of your environment by adding the SHELL= command line to your CONFIG.SYS file. See your MS-DOS documentation for more information about the SHELL command and modifying your CONFIG.SYS file. * Move the SET commands in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to the beginning of the file so that they run before the commands that load terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR) programs or drivers, such as SMARTDrive. .
