DOS Memory Issues. Need Help.

I'm having problems running a DOS-based software to run under Windows 2000 because of a lack of memory. My computer has a couple of hundred megs of ram so I don't think it's my computer's fault since an ancient computer that we have at the office can run the software flawlessly.

Is there a way to fix this?

Make a shortcut to the .exe file if you don't already have a shortcut to run the program, right click on it, look on the memory tab, set everything to Auto.

It's run using a .bat extension and it doesn't have the memory tab.

you could open the bat file and see if it actually runs an exe file. if it does you will be able to see the name and where it is located.

I can't seem to find the exe file. I could see a number of .bin files though.

Help.
