Paintbrush 4.0 Prints Small/Uses Too Much Memory

ID: Q61596


The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Paintbrush for MS-DOS, version 4.0

If Microsoft Paintbrush is taking too much memory or is printing very small pictures, try the following:

  1. Run PBSETUP.


  2. Choose None for printer selection.


  3. Print from a word processor (for example, Microsoft Word) that loads PCX files so you can print full-page pictures.


  4. You may want to pick a lower resolution with fewer colors (for example, 4-color EGA instead 16-color VGA).


Another workaround is to boot the machine with a floppy disk that includes only MS-DOS files and a mouse driver. This frees up RAM.
