The total bytes Conventional should be around 36000 when you are finished making these adjustments. Make sure that your CONFIG.SYS file has FILES=60 and BUFFERS=40 after loading LANtastic. The setup routine in LANtastic changes the FILES setting. You must REBOOT the computer to make the changes take effect. Check your memory after rebooting by entering MEM /C/P at the C:\> DOS prompt. You should have over 600K of Conventional memory and ALL of your network programs should be loading in Upper Memory.

Call Pristine Systems at 310-831-2234 or PM-Systems at 864-235-3355 if you have any questions.
