The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, version 2.0

SYMPTOMS

If you attempt to start the Extended version of FoxPro (FOXPROX.EXE) on a system that has more than 32 MB of memory installed, an "Insufficient memory" error occurs.

CAUSE

The Extended version of FoxPro cannot recognize any extended memory if the total amount of available extended memory is greater than 32 MB.

RESOLUTION

To work around this problem, do one of the following:

Specify a memory manager in the CONFIG.SYS file and configure the system to make 32 MB of expanded memory available. For example, the following command line configures EMM386 in this manner:
```
      DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE RAM 32768
```
-or-
Create RAM disks to use the extended memory in excess of 32 MB. Each RAM disk can hold up to 32 MB.
