    Hello.

    I have long set the "autoexec.nt" and "config.nt"  and run an "clipper" application without problems:

    AUTOEXEC.NT:

    @ echo off
    lh% SystemRoot% \ system32 \ redir
    lh% SystemRoot% \ system32 \ dosx.exe
    SET clipper = F255

    CONFIG.NT:

    dos = high, umb
    device =% SystemRoot% \ system32 \ himem.sys

    files = 255

    Suddenly, my program has stopped working, without modifying these files and what I see is that when i run "mem /c" there are "conventional memory", but has disappeared "secondary memory".

    Please, what I can do?

    Thanks

    Check and see if you have KB2661254 or KB2661254-v2 installed.  It was rolled out with the latest round of updates.  I have to uninstall it because I no longer have the expanded memory I need to run an almost retired legacy application.
