ID: Q65436

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows versions 3.0, 3.0a

The Microsoft C Compiler version 6.0 includes version 2.5 of HIMEM.SYS. Because this version implements the XMS 2.0 specification, Windows runs in standard and 386 enhanced mode with this driver. However, this configuration is not supported by Microsoft and performance may be reduced. Windows should be run with version 2.6 of HIMEM.SYS, which is included with the Windows package. Microsoft C Compiler 6.0 works with version 2.6 of HIMEM.SYS with no decrease in performance.
