LOWEST EXECUTIBLE 513? MEMORY ISSUE?

[KEJONES]

I have a IBM APTIVA 75 with Pentium 233, 32 Mgs of RAM and plenty of HD space, on WIN98. I was able to run ViaVoice Speech recognition program for a while but now it just freezes up. I bought Mijenix FIX IT to try to fix it an just gets page fault errors.

My largest executible is 513(up from 430 after some playing around). If I got it up to 580 or even 640 would this fix the issue? I have closed all of the TSRS except a Virus shield. These are my COnfig.sys and Autoexec.bat settings:
SET CLASSPATH=C:\Program Files\PhotoDeluxe 2.0\AdobeConnectables
SET CLASSPATH=C:\Program Files\HEAT\navbar;%CLASSPATH%
@ECHO OFF
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 T4
C:\SB16\SB16SET /M:220 /VOC:220 /CD:220 MIDI/:220 /LINE:220 /TREBLE http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif
PATH c:\windows;c:\windows\COMMAND;C:\IBMTOOLS
LH c:\windows\COMMAND\DOSKEY
CWBMIX.EXE /t=1,1
SET DMIDIR=C:\DMI
REM C:\IBMAV95\IBMAVSH /F00

DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
FILES=80
BUFFERS=100
DOS=HIGH,UMB
DEVICEHIGH=C:SB16\DRV\SBCD.SYS /G:MSCD001 /P:220
devicehigh=c:\windows\cwbinit.exe /A /M
device=c:\windows\emm386.exe noems

HELP!!!!! PLEASE!!! What can I do?

rem out the doskey line, also you can rem the himem.sys and the emm386.exe lines since win98 loads them automactically.
Try these first since these are the most obvious.

page fault
A virtual memory interrupt that signals that the next instruction or item of data is not in physical memory and must be swapped back in from the disk. If the required page on disk cannot be found, then a page fault error occurs, which means that either the operating system or an application has corrupted the virtual memory. If such an error occurs, the user has to reload the application.

Config.sys and autoexec.bat files Only control DOS apps. When it doubt, rename then both and restart..Good Luck.

Steve,

Thats extreme but kejones you may want to try thorough scandisk then defrag before re-installing to see if this fixes the problem. Re-installing is a last resort issue. I also read somewhere that voice recognition software will do this to a computer with a variable swapfile.

The page fault definition came from pc-webopaedia. I read it mean: close the app and reload the app not re-install.

Thanks for you help. This has had me baffled for a while now. I ran scandisk again. I uninstalled the program and reinstalled.

I removed EMM386, doskey and himem.sys (My largest executible is down to 460 now). Still got the page fault on Mijenix (in shell32.dll this time) and IBM's Via voice gets and illegal operation on loading.

Would renaming those system files make a difference? Would reinstalling WIN 98?
