The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft FoxBASE+/386 for MS-DOS 2.1



This article was previously published under Q101155

SYMPTOMS

The following error message may occur when you try to start Microsoft FoxBASE+/386 version 2.1 for MS-DOS:

A20 Hardware Error

CAUSE

This error is not caused by a hardware problem; it indicates that the FoxBASE+/386 program is not compatible with the MS-DOS HIMEM.SYS device driver.

RESOLUTION

Removing the HIMEM.SYS driver from the CONFIG.SYS file eliminates the message and allows FoxBASE+/386 to load.

NOTE: The HIMEM.SYS driver, which is provided with some versions of MS-DOS, manages the use of extended memory. It is added to the CONFIG.SYS file when Microsoft Windows is installed. The HIMEM.SYS driver is necessary to run Microsoft Windows.
