SYMPTOMS
You may receive the following error message when you run MemMaker:

EMM386 DMA Buffer is too small. Add D=48 parameter and reboot.



CAUSE
This problem occurs when you are running:
 * Qemm instead of EMM386.EXE version 4.48 (which is included with MS-DOS 6.2).
 * EMM386.EXE version 4.44 (which is included with Windows 3.1).



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem:  Change the EMM386.EXE command in your CONFIG.SYS file to correctly reference the version supplied with MS-DOS 6.2, and then run MemMaker. For an example of this command, see step 2 in the procedure below. -or-

 Replace the Qemm commands with the correct MS-DOS commands for HIMEM.SYS and EMM386.EXE and then run MemMaker. To do so:

 Edit the CONFIG.SYS file and remove the Qemm statements to disable Qemm. Add DEVICE commands for HIMEM.SYS and EMM386.EXE (including the D=48 parameter). For example:

device=c:\dos\himem.sys

device=c:\dos\emm386.exe d=48

 Reboot your computer and run MemMaker. </li></ul>
